Beautiful Saturday

Yesterday was a busy day! We started with an Arc Transition Fair at the local school – we were asked to volunteer, but I think people just want to see Joe.

Not even five, and he’s already being heavily recruited for the Youth Leadership Forum.

Here he is with his friend Rachel.

Then we walked to Petersburg to see a steam locomotive that was stopping by. Old things just look right in Petersburg.

Some people even showed up in period clothes. The train is 1913, but close enough.

Later Joe napped, and I checked out the remains of an old railroad bridge.

Still feeling Woodrow Wilsony, I visited Petersburg’s original Spirit of the American Doughboy statue. These were mass produced in the 1920s/30s. Around 130 are still standing in towns all over the country.
