Dr House is on vacation.
So I'll do the work
for both of us
today.
It's only fair.
He gave me 50 days off
to bike across America.
So I stay in New Castle
and spend my day
with slides.
and the rest
of my day
on bike...
Biking past
Jack's donuts...
Wait!
Jack's has moved?
They've been in this same corner
since I was growing up here
50 years ago!
Green walls...
Coffee machine...
Evening hours...
Quite a change
for our little
donut shop.
Jack's is the only reason
I bike a century
every weekend.
I only get a Jacks donut if I bike 100 miles.
It's worth it!
I bike past
the downtown.
I love watching
the worker men
fix up
my old downtown.
Quite a facelift
the old town
is getting!
I bike
to Baker Park...
...to the F.U.N. Playground
I helped build
ten years ago...
...with the help
of 2,000 volunteers!
So good to see
kids still enjoying
this playground
we worked so hard
to build.
And there are the trees
I helped plant 5 years ago
with Mrs. Reece's
3rd grade class!
People are still
helping fix up
this 50 year old park.
Look
at the beautiful mums
planted by
Shelia,
Sonny,
Jeff and Brad!
And we have
a Bark Park now!
I'll have to bring over
my puppies
to give it a try!
I enjoy my days
in New Castle...
biking
the early afternoon...
...dogging
after dinner...
...and ending the day
with chasing down
the sunset...
awww i miss New Castle =( mostly miss Jacks Donuts tho =P
ReplyDeleteCool thing about the first photo - the reflection of my red blouse in the microscope optics.
ReplyDeleteThat is neat... ill have to come by nc this weekend to take the puppies to the dog park looks fun :)
ReplyDeleteOMG... I soo miss going to Baker Park but not before going to Rays Drive Inn to get a cherry coke. I also miss Top Hat Pizza, Jacks Donuts was a must in the mornings before school! I haven't been i years~ I most likely would not even recognize the place up since i been there!

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your photo blogging tremendously, Dr. Steussy! Thank you for including the F.U.N. Park... My son and I visit at least once a week.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your 'perspective' of New Castle.
