We met up in New Berlin and drove to Norwich. We arrived a bit early and looked around THE ARTIST'S PALETTE. It is a great store and it is also an art gallery. Here is a picture of Jill Kraft (Carol's daughter in law) in front of her store.
A guy dressed like BIG FOOT (a guy named Jesse) arrived and he tried to attract visitors by standing in the road with a sign.
They had free hot dogs and cookies and soda. I purchased a turquoise bracelet and a book.
When we were finished at the art gallery/store, Carol drove me around Norwich, showing me some points of interest such as train depots, parks, etc. We had a really nice time at a park along a river, we even put our feet in the icy water. Then Carol drove me around Norwich a bit more, showing me two old train depots, a cute little
(old) diner and a ghost sign on a huge building near one of the depots.
Carol wanted to show me a house she and her family used to live in, in the hamlet of
Preston. It is a gorgeous area and we found the house and looked around a little bit. Preston does not really have much to offer, they do not have a post office.
After that, we headed towards Earlville, where we planed to have a roast pork dinner at the fire hall. On the way we stopped in Sherburne, to look for a geocache. We were not successful, and decided to take a slight detour to go to Smyrna to look for a geocache. After a quick stop to pick up some bottles of water, we headed to Smyrna. Once in Smyrna, we found the geocache, went to a yard sale and then explored the Main Street area a bit. We found a really neat and very old Mom and Pop type store. Here is a picture.
We arrived in Earlville around 4:30 p.m. and had the pork dinner at the firehall. It was very good. Then Carol drove me back to New Berlin, where I had left my car.
We got held up a bit because of a parade that was setting up to go down the main street in New Berlin.
All in all, it turned out to be a great day!
