While Notre Dame was experiencing its 5th loss of the season we were experiencing the rural New York country side. The Fall colors seem to be emerging more each day. The Pleasure Way carried us along the west side of the Adirondack Mountains into Cooperstown NY and the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Seeing and hearing the names of the storied past of baseball aroused many memories and filled gaps of knowledge. The Hall is a well designed tribute to the many legends of the sport.
This museum was even better because Cheryl joined in to this visit. She found a pink baseball for our new granddaughter.
We continue to meet and engage people from many origins - so many nice people we have been able to cross paths with. What a wonderful country - the scenery and the people we have AND WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO ENJOY IT!!
We just walked the streets of Cooperstown Sunday morning before church. We looked at the old, I mean really old, homes and soaked in the town's aura. One of the impressive finds refers to a favorite family book, THE BIG ORANGE SPLOT. We found Mr. Plumbean's house!!!! The town's regulars were down by the lake preparing for the Pumpkin Regatta where huge pumpkins are hollowed out so some one can sit in it and paddle in a race. The fun was contagious but Cheryl declined the opportunity to be a pumpkin paddler.
Small town relationships at their best.

Glad to know Mr. Plumbean is alive and his house well cared for. Thanks for the fond memory.--Jason
