It is time for Nancy Claey's Random Five Friday so here goes!
#1. I am so thrilled, that what is falling out of the sky today is rain and not snow!!
#2. I made reservations for my daughter and me to go to Dover Downs on Saint Patrick's Day. That ought to be a fun bus trip.
#3. I love it that my son-in-law has put a lot of my old movies on DVD for me. What memories seeing all those good times bring back.
#4. I just finished reading 'The Wilder Rose' by Susan W. Albert. It's about Laura Ingall Wilders daughter, Rose. And, I watched the movie 'Amelia' (Amelia Earheart). I like stories about real people.
#5. This random five is from the past (as always). I used to love to 'walk the rails' but that was when I was much younger. I wasn't along on this venture. Here's my husband, Elbert (on left) with son-in-law, John, and grandson Christopher walking the rails. They are going fishing. That Hubby has some pretty good balance going there!!

Stay dry, have fun and I'll see you blogging soon.
What a beautiful photo! And that's a great pic of your husband walking the rails! I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely look into The Wilder Rose..... I have not heard of that, but love Laura ingalls Wilder. Reading her books is like reading about my grandmothers life, as her parents came to Kansas in a covered wagon, and they settled in sod house on a creekbank. I aloso used to wwalk the rails, and enjoyed your photo! visiting from Random 5 day. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that we can be happy for rain - just because it is not snow!
ReplyDeletewhat a great photo. we are getting snow here. enjoy your trip with you daughter and that is so sweet of your son! i'll have to check that book out, sounds like something i'd really like! have you read the book about julia child, "my life in france"? i really loved that! have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteOh that is a wonderful photo. Never heard of The Wider Rose will look it up.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip. B
I will look up Wilder Rose. I grew up reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books.
ReplyDeleteDover Downs sounds like a fun trip to me! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful time.
I've never heard of The Wilder Rose. Must look on my kindle for it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh yes, the rain is better then the snow. We've had rain here but today the sun was out.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've read anything about LIW children so that book would be interesting. I love having movies on DVD to watch or as I do listen to them at night when I go to sleep.
Fun photo of the "rail walking."
Always a pleasure to see Elbert. I have heard of the Wilder Rose. What did you think of it?
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful of your grandson putting all your treasures on videos or Dvd's for you. I would be glad for rain here instead of snow, too. It is still all snow out there but the sun melted some today. Hip Hip Hooray!
We had rain the whole winter ! Fortunately no train arrived, lol !
ReplyDeleteWe also had rain and a full day of it, but beautiful sunshine on a Sat morning. Hioe that you win some green on the Dover Downs trip especially on St Patrick's day. A nice photo from the past, as always. Enjoy the weekend, Latane.
ReplyDeleteI loved that movie Amelia. She has always been a fascination to me, not sure why.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the Rose book. I had not heard of it either but love the idea of reading more L. Ingalls Wilder.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and sweet photo of the 3 guys on the rails. xo
I love your photo - it really looks like a group of people having a great time and enjoying each other's company! There's something so carefree and happy about it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo, and it looked like fun to try and keep balance!
ReplyDeleteI need a nice warm rain to melt the snow away now..
Great Ransoms this week. Snow expected here this week but we have had a glimpse of the sun, shining, melting some of the ugly, dirty snow. That rail photo is one to treasure.
ReplyDeleteNothing better to do on wintry days than watch old movies and read good books! Hope it gets warmer and warmer there for you...no more snow! Have you had a chance to see my piece-fulness blog post of the Sierra Vista show yet? ALMOST got that quilt done!!! :-) Will be posting it in a few days!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat random thoughts! I love the photo! It makes me smile! They seem to be having such a good time.
ReplyDeleteTell me, was Wilder Rose good? I keep hoping the library will get it in.
ReplyDeleteI walked the rails coming home from school....I never could walk all the way home without falling off it. (But it was probably 3/4s of a mile long walk on the railroad.)
I agree with you on #4. Also glad for rain instead of snow. Enjoy your trip!
