This image has been featured by the group “Rural America” 8/08. This general store is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “Lum and Abner” aired on radio as a fifteen-minute comedy serial from 1931 thru 1948, becoming a half-hour weekly comedy series from 1948-1950 and returning to quarter-hour format in 1953, ending its run in 1954. The subtle and witty shows stared Chester Lauck and Norris “Tuffy” Goff as Lum Edwards and Abner Peabody, owners and proprietors of the Jot ‘Em Down Store in Pine Ridge, Arkansas. Lauck and Goff were both born and raised in Arkansas and always maintained a strong love and affection for the characters they met and grew up with in their home state – quirks and all. The timeless and colorful characters they created for the show – most portrayed by Lauck and Goff themselves – make listening to “Lum and Abner” just as enjoyable and entertaining an experience today as it was when the shows were first aired many decades ago. Their “Lum and Abner,” show featured Lum Edwards, (pronounced “Eddards”), and Abner Peabody, who operated a small country store (“The Jot ‘Em Down Store”) in the mythical village of Pine Ridge, Arkansas. The program became one of the most listened to shows in America and Lauck and Goff, the native sons who made the show what it was, were particularly well regarded by their fellow Arkansans. In 1936, in response to the popularity of the program, the residents of the tiny town of Waters petitioned to have the village renamed Pine Ridge. It is located about 20 miles east of Mena, and although little remains of what was never a large town, Pine Ridge remains the site of a museum dedicated to the memory of those who made it famous—Lum and Abner. Pine Ridge is only slightly smaller now than it was in the early 1900’s when it was called Waters, the site of a post office, saw mill, blacksmith shop, and the other services necessary to a farm community. Dick Huddleston built his store in 1909 and bought groceries from a wholesaler named Mr. Goff. Mr. Goff’s son, Norris, was learning the grocery business delivering to many Polk and Montgomery County general stores. Mr. Lauck owned the big sawmill in Mena so all of the residents of this logging country knew his son, Chester, checking the trucks of logs being delivered. Dick Huddleston was a friend to them all and a leader in the community of Waters. The general store of any small town was its hub of activity, especially on a Saturday afternoon when everyone from the surrounding farms came to town to trade goods and stories. That was the inspiration for the Lum ‘N’ Abner program. By the mid-1930’s the radio program was well-known nation-wide and the listeners were asking where Pine Ridge was, so the name of the town was changed in an elaborate ceremony on the steps of the State Capitol in Little Rock in 1936, on the fifth anniversary of the program. Pictures in the LUM ‘N’ ABNER MUSEUM show all of the participants – the Governor greeting Lum, Abner, and the real-life counterparts of Grandpappy Spears, Cedric Wehunt, Dick Huddleston, etc During its long run, “Lum and Abner” was heard on practically every radio network in existence, starting with NBC (Red and Blue simultaneously, according to Chet Lauck), bouncing to Dallas-Fort Worth’s WFAA and WBAP only, back to NBC, then to Cincinnati only, then being one of the first programs on the fledgling Mutual Network, back to NBC, to CBS… “Doggies, Lum, stop this merry-go-round!” By 1944, “the boys” were broadcasting for Miles Laboratories on the almost-new network ABC, formerly the NBC Blue Network. Being a small network, the Keystone Broadcasting System recorded each program for distribution to stations not connected directly to ABC, providing national coverage for “Lum and Abner” and making it possible for these classic episodes to exist today. The “Jot ‘em Down Store” is the little town’s only commercial structure. It is combination general store, post office, and Lum and Abner Museum. The post office still operates today. The storekeeper, postmistress, and museum guide, Kathy Stucker is very knowledgeable and made us feel right at home.

I was entranced by the beauty of these doors on The Vail Hotel, in downtown Pueblo, Colorado. It is also know as the Vail Fireproof Hotel, and was famous as being the only fireproof hotel west of Chicago. Each of the guest rooms had a toilet and hot and cold running water. 60% of the rooms even had baths. Imagine what a luxury that was in 1911, especially in the old west! The Vail Fireproof Hotel was built in 1910-1911, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Canon Rebel XS Featured in Reflections in Windows February 2009

This image was the Monochrome challenge winner in the West Virginia group challenge on March 16, 2009. On March 16, 2009 this image was featured in the West Virginia group. On July 12, 2009 this image was featured in The Heartland group. The Brinegar Cabin at Milepost 258 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in West Virginia. The Brinegar Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This cabin was originally settled by Martin Brinegar in 1885. His wife, Caroline, brought along her mother’s four-poster weaving loom, which is still located on the site. The Brinegars occupied the cabin until 1935 when the land was purchased for construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin was preserved, along with Mrs. Brinegar’s 100+ year old loom which is used for craft and weaving demonstrations during the summer months. Guided nature walks and discussions, led by park rangers, are also available. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

DAFFODIL / Best viewed large. / / / / “DAFFODIL” was FEATURED in the group FOCUS AND LIGHTING / / / American Daffodil Society / DAFFODIL is the common name for all members of the genus Narcissus, and its use is recommended by the ADS at all times other than in scientific writing. “Narcissus” is the Latin or botanical name for all daffodils. According to most recognized botanists, there are between 40 and 200 different daffodil species, subspecies or varieties of species and over 25,000 registered cultivars (named hybrids) divided among the thirteen divisions of the official classification system. Daffodils are often white or yellow, with an impressive central trumpet. They are rather inexpensive to grow, and they are an added, beautiful attraction to any flower garden! / / / Photo taken with my Canon EOS 40D camera. / For more information on this DAFFODIL and others, please go here: / American Daffodil Society

Sunrise Over Algebuckina Bridge Algebuckina Bridge is about 55kms south of Oodnadatta on the Oodnadatta Track – South Australia. / It’s a really beaut bridge as you can see. At 578mtrs it’s a pretty long bridge too. The longest in South Australia. It’s a good thing that it is a long bridge because it crosses the widest and longest river – the Neales River – on the Oodnadatta Track, not, mind you, that the Neales River often has a lot of water in it. / Algebuckina Bridge was opened in 1892 as part of the Old Ghan Railway. It wasn’t, as legend has it, originally designed for the Murray River and when found to be too short, built where it now stands instead. It was purpose designed and built for this very spot. / What isn’t an Outback myth though is the story of the wrecked car that is still there just to the side of the old track on the southern end of the bridge. It seems that the the car was stopped by a flooding Neales River. With no hope of making a crossing, the enterprising occupants of the vehicle reckoned, not unreasonably, that they could drive over the rail bridge. Bit bumpy maybe, but there is a pub at Oodnadatta and it’d be a long wait for the river to go down and the mud to dry, so, why not give it a go? / Problem was though, they forgot to check the train time table ….. / There’s a famous waterhole just the other side of the Oodnadatta Track near the Algebuckina Bridge. It’s called, you won’t be surprised to learn, the Algebuckina Waterhole. / Algebuckina Waterhole is good place to camp apparently. Not that we’d know. We decided to camp right up close to the bridge – in fact, if you look very hard you can see out campsite in this image – and we never got around to checking out the waterhole. We did get to check out swarms of very unpleasant insects, a short but wild storm, complete with thunder lightning and rain, wind, and a not very well cooked meal of curried gritty chicken and unpleasant insects. We also had to quickly put out our fire – see wind above – using dirt and sand – see gritty chicken and insect curry above. / But we did get to see the Algebuckina Bridge – the longest bridge in South Australia – in the light of a not too foul sunrise.
