Great photos!! Thanks for posting them, Dolly.

Hey, Dave, want to work on one - Washington maybe? You know how I like to put yours together. :)

okie dokie. Won't make any promises on how quickly I get this done. My time spent on the 'puter has been greatly reduced. :(

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, Dave. It was fun putting this post together. Not quite as fun as actually getting to visit Massachusetts though. I am hoping on our next vacation we can go to New England. Thing is, we are going to need at least a month to see everything.

[Mama_Bear]

Okie dokie. Kentucky will probably be next, since I have it started already. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Wonderful thread Lori and "assistant amy". It's great to see another state thread (and to see you two!).

Thanks, sistah. Great to see you too! Hope things are getting a bit easier for you. I think of you often and wonder how things are going with you and yours.

[Mama_Bear]

Very well done Lori, glad to see you highlighting the states again. Spent the night in Springfield Mass while passing through New England on a return trip from Canada, it’s a very beautiful area.

Hi Aqua, and thank you! I've missed you lil' sistah! Can't wait for the day you take us all to Oklahoma. I've never been there. :-)

HUGS!!!

Hi Billie, thought I would put in my thoughts re Dancing with the Stars.

The trend seems to be for the gals to get more and more naked, huh? Just paste some glittery material on pertinent areas.

Was the racecar driver the one with the bad hip... or knee? I thought he was good... Mark something.

How many facelifts has Wayne Newton had, I wonder?
Is he real or is he Memorex?
;^)

I don’t have a pick. They all need to get a lot better.

[Mama_Bear]

I am so happy DWTS is back on! I don't have a favorite yet, but I agree with you, Billie, as far as the men go, the race driver is the best. Of course, being Latin and having the build of a dancer helps a lot.

I think the one who is going to be eliminated tonight will be the swimsuit model. Wayne Newton wasn't very good, but he probably has a huge fan base. I think, because of that, he will be around for awhile, even though he can't dance.

Walden Pond, a true classic.
I remember when that was a “must read” and a romantic vision.
I can even remember some details, such as what Thoreau ate when he lived in the cabin: molasses, corn meal mush and salt pork.

That is a beautiful view...

[La Enchiladita]

Yes, the maple sugar candies melt in your mouth...:)
No need to take a bite, Billie.

These were always a part of our Christmas; I’m surprised no one else recognizes them...

B-52s demonstrate global reach, global power
A B-52 Stratofortress heads toward its target at Pele Bombing Range, Hawaii. In September's Exercise Koa Lightning, B-52 aircrews dropped inert weapons on their targets for the first time. The aircraft were talked in to the targets by joint terminal air controllers on the ground. This training is critical in the war on terrorism, enhances security in the Western Pacific and provides integrated training opportunities. (USAF file photo)

A pilot prepares to drop his "flour bomb" during a target competition Sept. 22 at the Dawn Patrol Rendezvous World War I Fly-In on the grounds of the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Activities included period re-enactors in a war encampment setting, era automobiles on display and participating in a parade, flying exhibitions by WWI radio-controlled aircraft, and a collector's show for WWI items.

Clam Chowder was my favourite food when I visited MA in 1997.

[Majie Purple]

Hi Snugs/Eleanor!
Thanks for Your reply.

How many States have You visited?
I’ve lived in only 3, with a 4th coming up sometime,to be closer to a relative,geographically. I have thus far traveled to/visited about 38 + Washington DC.

I have yet to make it, across the pond. but do hope to some day!

[Aquamarine]

Aqua...and yippie...Oklahoma huh???

Thought everybody knew I was born in Tulsa and lived there the first 11 years of my life before my family moved to Georgia. Don't remember that much about it now, guess I'll have to do some research.

[Aquamarine]

The main thing I remember about Oklahoma was the people, some of the finest in the world.

Thanks for your hard work today, always enjoy what you create here.

Is that a hard candy? When I was younger my nan always had maple brazils for Christmas which is a brazil nut covered with a maple flavoured sugar coating which was sort of semi hard.

Dear (((((Lori))))), your Thread is a Beautiful Masterpiece; just Awesome! I Never Travel Out of State So it's Neat to Visit Massachusetts in this Way! Thank you and Amy and the Mayor for Such an Outstanding Thread.

Dolly, I Loved the Pics of Wheelbarrow that you Posted, and Hope he is Feeling Well.
