Thrilled Over a Thank You

After making a donation to a special charity I happened on to a few years ago when I attended a free concert, I received a sincere and sweet personal thank you this week from the founder.

It certainly makes all the work and effort worth it when the organization sends a thank you note.  How much nicer and more willing you want to continue giving.  

With the next forty-five days full of holiday giving spirit, remember to 'Thank' those that do a kind deed to you or a loved one.  This is a great time to teach our children to show appreciation, too. 

Old Town Icons

When traveling through old towns, I love to snap the photos of the famous attractions that people visit the town for or items it is well known for.  Such as the buffalo on the top of this building in this Idaho town near Jackson, Wyoming.

 In Oregon at the Tillamook factory who isn't looking for the dairyman and his cow? 

Astoria, Oregon has this great tower and cable car that runs up and down the main street along the pier looking over the bay. 

 

The age-old theatres and hotels are a great attraction and date back to the great buildings of yesteryear. 

 The Yellow Cab Taxi Company is an icon on wheels that we all love to see and occasionally get to ride in. 

May we all take note of the beloved attractions of the past, they wont last forever.
