Pond Stand
Waxhaw, NC 2020
This part of North Carolina is booming with new residential construction. Everyone seems to be moving here from the NY, NJ, CT, lured by good weather, affordable housing and lower taxes. Just about everything we saw had been built within the last 10 years. The developer of this residential area left a lot of areas undeveloped for recreational use.

Pavilion in Millbridge
Waxhaw, NC 2020
Although it was a bit risky, my wife and I decided we needed to visit our grandchildren, so off we went to spend a week in North Carolina. We took all the necessary precautions during our travel and stay, and I'm happy to say that all is well. This pavilion stands at the entrance to a hiking trail and pond located in the housing development now considered home for my daughter and her family. Warning!! There might be some cute pictures of grandchildren in the following posts.

Originally this building was 1000 ft long and contained the machinery for making rope. This is only a portion of the original building, which was built in 1824 and located in Plymouth, MA. At one time the Plymouth Cordage Company was the largest maker of rope in the world supplying the rope for the USS Constitution, many whalers, and America's Cup yachts.

This is one of the oldest surviving commercial vessels in the United States. The Emma C Berry was built just a couple of miles down river from where it now sits in 1866.
