FDR was born in this house, and he’s buried here in the Rose Garden. Most everyone knows a fair amount about all that happened in between. It’s the third Roosevelt home we’ve toured since we got the Navion almost two years ago (search “FDR’s Little White House, Georgia” and “Campobello Island, NewBrunswick”) and [...]

I shouldn’t have labelled them, but I’ll bet you could guess. (BTW, I always use only pictures I’ve personally taken, except for the above of Lindenwald. I didn’t bring the camera along, and really wanted to compare images of both. Yay Flickr and people who share.) Both of their lives left me [...]

I’m so far behind in blogging but don’t want to forget these two. Such different experiences, but both memorable in their own way.

We did. We entered through the checkpoint of the Mount McGregor Correctional Facility, the guards flagged us on, after warning us not to let Taylor out of the RV – “I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that cat,” one armed guard said. So Taylor has become an outlaw. What picture of him will appear [...]
