Pompeii

and remember the elk is also plastered. 

The tree will be getting cut down this year. If the elk want to lodge their selves in it, go for it!!!  Wonder if that elk made it out alive or not.  Imagine the story it had to tell when it got back to the harem!!!

Bon, Make sure this doesn't happen to your tree. 
 

It looks like she enjoyed your apples.
The look on the second photo >>   "Where is my drink?"

LC was meowing like crazy a little while ago. She would come in the bedroom meow and run into the hallway. So I get up to see what her problem is ... she was trying to tell me we have an apple eater in the yard!!! She is more than welcome to come back and eat all she wants, heck, bring a few friends too!!!
 

 

 

 

I think about Jennifer everyday. Miss her very much.

i often think of her

So sad to hear the news. I didn't know her personally, but I did enjoy reading her posts and comments. Often she said things I was thinking. May you rest in peace and soar with the angels. You and your words will be dearly missed!!

31 Foods You Should Never Refrigerate
   
By Sarah Lipoff
You just hit the grocery store, and your fridge is overflowing. But do all those things actually belong in the refrigerator? The thing is, most fresh fruits and vegetables can survive without refrigeration

You can print and put in your wallet just in case.

I highly suspect that is Liberty Blvd.  And those building are on what is now the Legion and park/ball fields.

Also not the roof and "dormers" of the building to the right of the one I pointed out.   Pretty much the same between then and now.

Life, laughter and love you shared with all of us, like many I never met you, but in sharing yourself with all of us I feel I did know you. When I was depressed you PM me, Through that time you spent with me, it pulled me out of my depression showed me how beautiful life is.
I am truly blessed to have you in my life. You had the ability to reach out and touch another's heart.
Shmoopie11, your work God placed you on earth has been completed. you closed your eyes and when you opened them you were cradled in the arms of God, and saw his loving face. 
 
Prayers go out to your children and family. Good night Shmoopie, someday we will meet you again.

Moving this topic to the Local History Forum so it won't fall off the main board in a few weeks. 

The City of DuBois is very good to us. Every summer they give us summer kids that mow and weed eat 5 days a week, eight hours a day and we still can't keep up. Without the City of DuBois's help, we would be lost and Rumbarger wouldn't be looking as good as it is. The summer kids free up the board members  to do other projects. It's 8 acres big and there is so much to do there, we are never caught up. Every year we fill 3 flower beds with flowers, we fill 11 urns with flowers, we maintain the mausoleum and the landscaping around it and the Soldiers Circle. We re-cement knocked over graves, trim bushes, pick up trash, rake leaves and paint where needed. We are very grateful to the help the City gives us. Plus several of the City's employees have come up after work and helped us out on their own time. We are 8 volunteers and most of us work full time. The work we do at Rumbarger is mostly done after work and on weekends. The City of DuBois has been wonderful and we really appreciate all they do for us. City of DuBois employees Herm Suplizio, Steve Swope and Scott Farrell have been very instrumental in helping us get to the point we are today. 

Mr Tri-pod.  Not a very good pic because I took a pic with my cell phone off of my camera. Hubby says easily 450!! LC was getting mad while looking out the window, I got up to get a drink, looked out the window and hollered at my hubby to not let the dog out!!! The bear was on our porch, deck and the yard!!! Good think I brought my feeders in again!!
 

What could you possibly do with a 145 year-old cemetery that had been left go for years, neglected and overgrown ?


 


If you're the Rumbarger Cemetery Preservation Society THIS is what you do
