The Habit of Thankfulness: A Few of My Favorite Things

Sept 5th- A few of my favorite things...
~Stepping back in time in 19th century clothes to visit the Genesee Country Village and Museum
~Seeing the only working replica of a civil war reconnaissance balloon which was used by North 
~The painted glass on the George Eastman House, the place of his birth, a much more humble place than his grand home in Rochester



The George Eastman House was originally located in village of Waterville in Oneida County New York. 
It was moved to the grounds of the Genesee Country Village and Museum
Below is the transom window on the left (and--not visible--right) of the door.
