My World Tuesday: A Polar Moment in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

We stopped in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on Sunday morning to buy some baby gifts at Artworks and to get Clyde out for a stretch of the ol' legs. The shopping was a success, but the day was bitter cold and blowy, so we lasted for about two blocks before we high-tailed it back to the car and headed farther south to Mount Vernon, the home of George and Martha Washington. Before the cold crept into our bones, I took a few quick shots of a store window. I really liked the dreamy grandeur of the display of paintings Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington.

Hi Sandy

Happy New Year from Southern California. No snow here but a lot of rain storms and mud slides!

I hope you and your family had a Wonderful Christmas Celebration.

God Bless You, ~Ron

It has been cold here too...and blowy, not the best weather for shopping.

The displays are well done making history seem more interesting than when I was a kid. :)

Hope you had a great Christmas, Sandy!

I like the mix of old statesmen with classic Christmas. They gave me sense of history in a Dickens sort of way. Seasons Greetings!
