                                                         Taking a much needed break

                                  A late afternoon purchase at Doug's corner drug store

              The first locomotive Garen I and Garen II purchased (red and white--bottom center)

                                                    Big round bales of hay like the ones on Uncle Doc's farm

                                                               A look at the school yard

                                                                The result of smoking in bed!

                    I see the ladder but where is the fireman?  Oh, mabye he is inside putting the fire out!

                      Who on earth was dumb enough to put a horse in the cow pen?

                                This is  the only lumber yard in the tiny villege of Smiley Hill.
