Dansville Sojourn

Yesterday David and I went to Dansville, New York. It is a cute little town with nice people. Well, David was born and raised there, what can I say?

A little trivia by the way: David's name is embedded in every building of the town. Well, almost all: the churches, and in the museum. He told me later the poem that he wrote while he was in 1st grade is being displayed in the museum.

The poem goes like this:

There was a little toad
Sitting on a lily pad
He was looking at the road.

There were also garage sales. And definitely I shopped for books, books and more books. Some 30 books in all. He he!

They also had a competition of firetrucks from the different towns.

In the middle of the day we went to Hornell (the birthplace of Bill Pullman) to put flowers on the grave of David's parents and grandparents.

Early evening saw us at a carnival, sponsored by the firemen. It was fun to watch the kids play silly games.

Pictures to follow.

  1. Hi! I just found your blog reading from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Somehow was attracted to it when I read you're from Bacolod originally. Have some nice gfs from that city living now in Europe.
    Warm regards from another blogger in diaspora,

  2. Hello there. Thank you for posting a message. Need that to boost my web-blogging passion. I just cannot keep track of what I do as David and I are always on the go. And I don't keep a small notebook with me. Hhmm, there's the idea.

    The pictures for this particular blog will be posted soon as well as the previous postings. I just cannot get my acts together as I have to finish a final paper for one of my courses.

    Again, thanks and God bless!

    Fernelle
