I just scrolled down to see what posts I have missed. I am just now trying to catch up with my friends who visited me on Saturday. Thank you for visiting and for your kind comments. I have missed you.<br /><br />Your New England event is awesome. I have always been interested in the history of New England. Certainly a very big part of America's history. I will try to visit as many as I can.<br /><br />Your town sounds like a town like I grew up in until I was 10. A small farming community where you know <br />everyone and see everyone at Church on Sunday. A Congregational Church.<br />The church where my parents were married. A four room school house for 12 grades. Not historical like New England though. I loved reading about your town as well as it's historical value.<br /><br />I read about the the One World One Heart giveaway event and it is such a fun event to have. Crafted art is the best. I will go to your post and enter. Thanks for the opportunity to win your lovely gift.<br /><br />Take care, hugs, Jeannejeannehttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878749965830872589.post-5329343600568527632010-01-27T18:32:07.775-05:002010-01-27T18:32:07.775-05:00Elizabeth- great reminder about visiting Newgate P...Elizabeth- great reminder about visiting Newgate Prison, I haven't been there for awhile, time to go back.

Though I won't say publicly through a blog comment what town I live in, I'll give you a hint - old newgate prison actually used to be part of my town before the town lines were divided in, I believe, the 1800's (though it could have been earlier). I bet you know what town I'm talking about! :)Alyson | New England Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209837924378793507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6878749965830872589.post-8914659907849459442010-01-26T12:57:58.735-05:002010-01-26T12:57:58.735-05:00Oh wow, this was so interesting, Elizabeth!
