Firday "My Town" Not-So Shoot Out Shoot Out

As all of the members of our shoot out gang know, I have handed over my crown to the GingerV in Brazil and ChefE in New Jersey. Gordon, in St. Augustine, took Reggie Girl's place when she left. They are all doing a great job!

I have not left...just taking a break because this is my busy season and I have a million things going. I requested that my name be removed from the Friday Shoot Out site because I know how it is to click on a site and find no Friday Shoot Out. With some 70 shooters, it can be time consuming.

But when I can, I participate. This week's assignment was "Interesting or Amusing Signs", chosen by Si in Exmore, VA. And since I saw this interesting and amusing sign, I had to stop and get off a click.

I have always admired this old house, located outside of Crisfield in a farming community. I never had time to shoot it until inspired by Si. As I was taking a photo, the owner of the farm came pulling in with his tractor and explained to me that someone in Berlin, MD had actually bought the house and was going to have it moved. The house was built in the early 1900's. Now, I really want to be there when they move that house! Berlin is a, "Good far piece." - as we used to say in Georgia - from its present location. So without further ado, here is my interesting and amusing sign:



I am glad this house is being saved. I hate to see anything or anyone die away and be forgotten.
