I'm blogging at Inkwell Inspirations about one of my favorite words, with lots of accompanying photographs to show you why the word is so versatile and how you can use it if you don't already.
Well, look here . . . is it a rustler?

 The Pavilion, Herne Bay, Kent, on a steep slope, 1904-1912. Public Domain I'm blogging at the Heroes, Heroines and History blog today where we're moving our bandstand celebration over to Great Britain to visit the Herne Bay Rooftop Bandstand and King's Hall in Kent. Another of Herne Bay's bandstands was featured in my last post, From Bandstands to Bandshells, and the site fascinated me enough to return for a second visit. I hope you'll join me.

Courtesy of Wikipedia I'm over at the Heroes, Heroines, and History blog with a post called From Bandstands to Bandshells showing historic images that go beyond traditional bandstands to pavilion type structures built to last. Or should I say, built to last as long as there is interest.

Bandstand on St. George's Island, Calgary, Alberta, ca.1912. Courtesy of Glenbow Archives, Calgary, Alberta Bandstands are structures that endure over generations, sharing the love of music with all ages along with treasured memories of the setting and occasion. Join me on the Heroes, Heroines and History blog (www.hhhistory.com/) as I share my love of bandstands over a course of blogposts full of images from the past. My current post is - Elaborate Bandstands for Special Events Previous posts are: - Wooden Bandstands of By Gone years - Scenic Bandstands with a Water View The next post in this series will feature park bandshells, large open-faced structures that are not open on all sides like the pavilion-type bandstand we've focused on so far. The comments at the end of each post are also informative and I love hearing what readers think.  One of the busy spots in progressive Olds, c1916. Source: Prairie Postcards, Peel Library, University of Alberta I'm over at the Heroes, Heroines and History blog showing the first post in a series on historic bandstands. I'm starting with the wooden bandstand as it was the most economical for early settlers to build. Future posts will consider construction materials, size, and the stories behind the bandstand..

My publisher, WhiteFire Publishing, has some exciting news about the launch of a new line of books for young readers. It's been in the works for awhile and it's now time to NAME the new line.
And WhiteFire is asking you, the readers, for your opinion. Here are some things to consider about the readers and books for this new line:

Porch swing up for the winter, Mayetta, Kansas, Nov 1940. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, DC I'm over at the Heroes, Heroines and History blog showing historic images of people on their porch swings, a place where they show the joy and agony of life. Memorable folks captured at this leisure activity, which was also a place of refuge. These days, many people don't have a porch or veranda to hold a swing, but it seems that the trend may return by the look of the new styles of houses being built today. Good news as I feel it's an integral part of a friendly and caring neighborhood. Porch Swing Time at http://www.hhhistory.com/2018/04/porch-swing-time.html Cheesy Bird Videos is my post over at the Inkwell today. Just a few brief videos to show our feathered friends doing the same kinds of things that people do...like popping out and scaring others...or being a bully...nothing highly emotional that will take the edge off your day, just a few minutes to clear your mind as you go. All of the videos are shown at normal speed, and then slow motion so you can see what really happened. Not award worthy. Simply entertaining. You can see them at http://www.inkwellinspirations.com/2018/03/cheesy-bird-videos.html  "One like this tipped over with mom inside", 1930-1939. Courtesy of the Western Development Museum Curatorial Centre, Saskatoon, SK I'm blogging over at Heroes, Heroines and History today about the winter snow conveyance called a caboose. At least that's what it was called on the Canadian prairies in the first half of the 20th century. Why can't I find any photos of such a conveyance south of the border? Come see my photos at Winter Travel by Caboose and then share about your memories or thoughts. If you've seen such a vehicle in old photos and such, share that too, will you?  Are you familiar with the song, Little Green Apples? That's what I'm talking about over at www.inkwellinspirations today where I've included a YouTube video of the song sung by Glen Campbell and accompanied by his daughter, Debby Campbell. The main thought of the post is that the only part I usually remember of the song doesn't make sense because I've taken it out of context and have to go back and read the whole thing to understand what it's about. And then I smile. :) |
