Mr Ladew's office is filled with hunting memorabilia, which was his favorite passion besides gardening. The chestnut paneling came from a barn he spotted while on a hunt.

test shot for 4/1/25 Crazy Tuesday Theme: "This makes me happy"
"The things (and people) that we surround ourselves with are what makes us happy"
Stuff I've collected or received over the past 11 years or so. I'm going to try and grow the mini truck fleet this summer.

Objects valued for their connection with historical events, culture, or entertainment: posters, publicity photographs, and other movie memorabilia.
Events or experiences worthy of remembrance: a book containing the memorabilia of a life in the theater.
I crossed a moor, with a name of its own
And a certain use in the world no doubt,
Yet a hand’s-breadth of it shines alone
’Mid the blank miles round about:
For there I picked up on the heather
And there I put inside my breast
A moulted feather, an eagle-feather—
Well, I forget the rest.
JACK O'LANTERNS FROM THE 1940'S.
As children, we took these with us to put our candy in or to light our way. They was made of paper mache with a wire holder. Most of them had thin paper coverings over the eyes through which candle light was able to shine through. It gave some of them an eerie, grotesque facial expression. Can you imagine kids these days walking around with candles in these on Halloween ?

Our camera club had a field trip to a barn in Fish Haven, Idaho that was jammed with interesting collectibles.
The Flickr Lounge topic is Table Top.
The milk can is from the farm on which my wife Sammy was raised during the 1940s and 50s, and the jug is from Venezuela, where she acquired it from the Guajira Indians during a time she spent there in 1957.

Last days in Greece 40 years ago; I walked to the beach and picked a handful of shells and small rocks. They travelled home carefully packed in the backpack and have travelled with me ever since. There is sand in one corner which I swear is from that beach.
In 80+ years, one tends to collect a lot of stuff, which we prefer to refer to as memorabilia. In fact, our guest bedroom is more appropriately called our memorabilia room because we have stuff - I mean memorabilia - displayed all around the room and on the walls. These are a few of the items from that room:
~The jug is from Venezuela, acquired by my wife Sammy from the Goajira Indians during a trip there in 1957.
~The horse feed bucket and cream pail are from the farm on which Sammy lived during the 1940s and 50s.
~The .50 caliber muzzle loading black powder pistol sticking up out of the pail (a highly inappropriate place for it...) is one I built from a kit about 40 years ago, and it's really a blast to shoot (pun intended).

Collegehill House was once the Old Rosslyn Inn where many people stayed including those visitors and pilgrims to Rosslyn Chapel. The presence of seashells has some people linking this Chapel to The Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, this the sacred ways to the Santiago de Compostela cathedral in Spain to the shrine at the burial place of the Apostle St James. The place of Rosslyn and the family that built both the Castle and Chapel here are linked to Scottish Rite Masonry and are heralded as the Hereditary Grand Masters. The National Bard of Scotland Robert Burns’ stayed in the Old Rosslyn Inn with Alexander Naismith in 1787. Robert Burns wrote,
Epigram At Roslin Inn.
My blessings on ye, honest wife!
I ne’er was here before;
Ye’ve wealth o’ gear for spoon and knife-
Heart could not wish for more.
Heav’n keep you clear o’ sturt and strife,
Till far ayont fourscore,
And while I toddle on thro’ life,
I’ll ne’er gae by your door!
There are stories of Robert Burns’ inscribing on plate and though that one seems lost to history there is a whole industry of Burns’ memorabilia and there are plates galore both old and new showing Robert Burns’.

Welcome to Rosslyn Chapel
Alexander Nasmyth drawing of Rosslyn Castle showing both the artist and Robert Burns.
The date added to the picture appears to be wrong and it is suggested, “perhaps done by Nasmyth’s son, James.” Once you think of the date being added the initials AN and RB seem out of place in the picture and you can wonder if link was needed to make the drawing more valuable with AN and RB being indicated as the figures included?
