Saturday Morning, July 29

After spending time at the chapel – during rain – I went for another walk. First I stopped to watch the sawmill in operation.

This was the power for the sawmill on this morning.

It was not always the same engine.

I loved seeing the fathers (or grandfathers) and sons on tractors.

An old truck

Back at the chapel: Interesting visitors from Texas. His job is placing and maintaining scales (for people) in truck stops in Texas and Colorado. He does not get on the truck lot so did not know about us. He promised to check out the chapel at Houston, Texas.

While in the chapel I noticed the hook that was forged for me earlier in the day. (See previous post on Berryville.)

As the rain subsided we had several visitors.

Cerwin and Jake often visited with people who were checking out the Caterpillars next to the chapel.

This Steam Show is old (I think this was the 46th annual) but we were new and tried to introduce ourselves to everyone possible – at the chapel – when ordering food – when talking to engine and tractor owners – when walking through the antique and flea markets.

I saw this sign the evening before, and decided that I would have bean soup for lunch on Saturday.

It was delicious!

I never tired of seeing and hearing the sound of these tractors.

I was glad for shoes that could be washed at the end of the weekend.

More tomorrow evening.
