Since I can recall there been a DAIRY DEPOT and Dubbs on the west end of Sandpoint
heading toward Priest River.
Well yesterday I took my client Carrie
to her doctor as she was seeing her doctor. I went for a walk around
the block. Strange or not I was walking down Michigan a short street, my dad came from Michigan. The town of
Jackson and he grew up around POKAGON Then I saw across the highway was the
Dairy Depot. The building style change over time. But even when I was
a kid when I came up to North Idaho from Spokane. We stop in at the
Dairy Depot way back then.
As one can see it the SKY wasn't clear in North Idaho.
One thing about walking in that part of
Sandpoint that one dealt with snow mounts which was made with snow
equipment.
Then of the sloop on roads.
But that area I was walking in seem to
be small commercial area with a few homes mixed about.
As she was in having her procedure or
seeing her doctor. I usual take walk, possible run errands, read,
write letter to my pen pals, and or crochet.
Well today I wrote to two of my pen pal
when in Kentucky and the other in Germany. I had a little time to
read my book I got from Library in Bonners Ferry. A LANTERN IN HER HAND which is about pioneer family from DUBUQUE IOWA which my mom maternal grandmother
(Great Grandmother) also came from. Her name was Anna Munch and born
the same day as President Lincoln last birthday.
These couple is just starting there new
life right after the civil war.
Heading to the southeast corner of NEBRASKA and the state was just came part of
the union. Still talking about having the state capital call Lincoln
after the slain President.
My father in law came from this part of
the state.
The story moves at a nice pace. When
I'm reading a story this is important to me.
Odd thing my mom came from Nebraska but
the other corner of the state. I use to ask her if she was born in a
cover wagon.
Coffee is on
You capture winter well. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog please come back & visit again. I see winter is really there with all that snow. It's very overcast & winy here at the moment and threatning snow.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend
That's a lot of snow ! It must be interesting to follow up where your ancestors are coming from !
ReplyDeleteNice winter snow shots :-)Finding out about your ancestors and where your roots are is always interesting..
ReplyDeleteI think I got gas there the last time I went through Sandpoint.
ReplyDeleteI like the old vintage photo. Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of snow up your way Dora! And hey, I'm a Michigan girl too and I know Jackson, Michigan, mainly because there's a big prison there and the closer you get you see signs that read, "After this point do not pick up hitchhikers." :)
ReplyDeleteI love that last photo! There is so much to see and imagine - how were their lives? Did they have more children? Were they happy?
ReplyDeleteYes, winter is in full swing here too.
Take care.
Cream, milk and a dollop of honey please. I'll bring the fudge brownies!
