A MERRY CHRISTMAS GREETING TO ALL OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

from Karen and Keith

WE FINALLY MADE IT !

After living in the Philly area for over 25 years, we finally made it to the OFFICIAL HOME OF THE PHILLY CHEESESTEAK !

And oh what a treat ... definitely worth a visit just for the experience.

As 'blue collar' as it gets ...

You have to order saying 'wit' if you want your cheese steak WITH onions.

And what a crowd. It took 20 - 30 minutes in line for the priviledge of ordering WIT ...

Is that enjoyment or what!

Yo Philly ... Pat's is da place!

I Survived The Philadelphia Folk Festival

The Philadelphia Folk Festival ... An Experience for Everyone to Have !






















I went to the PFF with my good friend Vinny ... we camped for 3 days / 2 nights.

What an experience.

I didn't believe it when Vinny said that NO ONE slept at night. Now I know! They don't! ... And if you try ... YOU DON'T EITHER.

It was a great time and something that everyone should experience. If you were not at Woodstock (which I wasn't) ... and wished you could experience a weekend of great music, friendly people EVERYWHERE ... this is a must!

As you an see from these photos, I 'chilled out' for 3 days.

I recommend it highly for ALL.

Madison The Artist

Madison recently had a piece of artwork placed in the main Thorndale (PA) branch of Citadel Credit Union.

She was chosen along with some other students from Caln Elementary, along with a few other elementary schools in the district and the Senior High School.

A LUCAS ON LUCAS STREET

On our recent trip to St. Louis, MO, we were walking along the Mississippi River at the Landing and came across Lucas Street.

I thought this would make an interesting photo.
