When you have lived long, you have probably seen many things. Sometimes I'm in awe at how much I've been able to see on my travels thru the US. I'm reminded of all these things when I watch Aerial America. Today was "Ohio".
The Wright Brothers bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, a great city to run around and take photos. I loved to drive around Dayton on Sunday mornings taking photos around town.
But Fort Ancient grabbed my attention and reminded me how much history I saw there. Its a beautiful museum as a tribute to the native American tribe who lived there. Its where you can see Serpent Mound.
With six kids, it was a terrific day trip to keep kids busy, and learning at the same time. We went back one year for their annual celebration filled with dancing, singing, socializing, crafts, arts, and food. Watching the dancers was mesmerizing, and started a fascination with Native American traditions. I purchased some ankle jingles, and later it became a joke, telling someone I would "be there with bells on" .... wearing my ankle bells.
I am jotting down memories to remind me, and family, about them. And why I have odd things collected, and kept. Reminders of a different time.
