Sandy, what a wonderful entry for WW! I only wish history would have been photos and commentaries instead of miserable memorization of dates and nonsense no one even recalls after the quizzes and tests we took...Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteNice set of photos. It looks like it was an interesting day
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos! Nice music too! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Mine is up at Tricotine
These are great. I'm a huge history buff. Re-enactors are a magical way of stepping back through time.
ReplyDeleteWho won? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for these. I like the effect of seeing all four photos together.
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteFunny you should ask. The Red Coats stood up the patriots, so we won be default! (Ah, if all wars could be won that way!)
Love the collage and the music!
ReplyDeletehappy ww :)
Coolio!!! Love the photos, and jaunty tune to go with! Happy WW :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like definitely a place I'd be interested in!

ReplyDeleteCool collage Sandy! Well done & Way interesting, Happy WW!
ReplyDeletehow fun to have visited. I remember places that I've visited as a kid way more than I ever learned in school
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteGreat coverage of the muster. I don't know if I told you that I lived in Woodbury for 10 years and still have a lot of friends there. What a special place.
Awesome photos!! My parents lived in Bristol, RI for 6 years... they have the oldest running 4th f July parade in the country... and the build up to the 4th is all about the Colonial Days. It's great. These photos reminded me of it! Thanks for the great memory.

ReplyDeleteWOW! Really gorgeous pics!
ReplyDeleteI've never managed to make it to the Colonial Day in Exeter NH, just down the road. I keep forgetting the date!
ReplyDeletePlease don't take this the wrong way, but it's *quite* a shock to have music coming from the computer first thing in the morning! I much prefer when I have to click on a link to make a video work.
I always wanted to see the event...maybe once of this days..like the photos.
ReplyDeleteMine is up now at The FourSeasons of My Life hope you come visit.
How fun! I would love to visit a place like that! My kids and husband - not so much! But, I really enjoy history especially in that genre. great pictures!

You asked about mine..... Karen and Kelly went to New England in 2002 and took that picture in Vermont. I love fall, too.
Great set!
ReplyDeleteGood ol days! Always wonderful to remember history. Am not sure about history class though. Heheh
ReplyDeleteAs re-enactors ourselves, this one is a GREAT one for us! It's nice to see you upstart republicans celebrating! (Grins!)
ReplyDelete- Please Note - "Republican" in this sense meaning "The Republic for Which You Stand" vs. us nice folks over here who still sing God Save the Queen!
Great photos! I saw some guys this week gassing up...on their way to a "battle". They had a bumper sticker than said, "Save a horse and ride a calvary man." {rolling eyes} Oiy Vay!
