Today we went viewing homes.  “Tour of Homes” is hosted by the museum each year and different homes are picked, generally they have 4 to 6 to view, this year there were 4.  The homes ranged in years from 1884 to mid 1950’s.

Our friend and fellow BBer’s, Joe and Mary Hankin, own the home built in 1884.  Each home had its own special attributes which can be seen in the pics below.

In the evening, Joe and Mary hosted a get-together for a number of people, fun was had by all, also the food was delicious.

An unfortunate happening today, we were leaving from the first home, and I wanted to take a pic of the entrance gate, so Vadie stopped, I got out and was taking the pic, a car was approaching the entry gate so she moved the car over, running over three of my toes on my right foot - OUCH, no broken bones though, although it is kinda tender.  Of course this happened at the beginning of the tour Hmmm.
