My Madison Journal
Monday morning. I have already posted on how our first night was and nearly being thrown out of the bed. Plus that the bed felt stiff. It was a rainy morning damp and wet. We got to the Park entrance and I got a good photo of the sign. Then we stopped at the gatehouse…

A younger Generation…
The other night I finally got a chance to spend some time on the typewriter. It was special for me to get to experience something that used to be so common.
