Photo Friday - The Letter "P"

PuddlesLast week, I was in the ticket booth at the WV State Fair observing y0ungsters jumping around in Puddles of rainwater. It brought mind a conversation with my older s0n and step-s0n. My s0n was showing Photos of his y0ung s0n jumping in puddles near his home. My older s0n commented that there are not so many Potholes for puddles since the roads were Paved. I commented that there are Plenty of Potholes in West Virginia. My step-s0n replied, "No so much rain to fill the Potholes. I answered, "the State Fair is coming soon. There is ALWAYS a downpour of rain during Fair Week. Wait for it!!!

Indeed there was lots of rain courtesy of hurricanes Fred, Geoffrey, and Hector.

Polling Place
In 20, I ran for City Counsel. During that time, I started Hospice Care for my husband. We took him home, placed a hospital bed in the living room, and I called his . Five biological , 2 Step- and an unofficially adopted and her became his grandchildren. After he crossed over, there were many issues to deal with. I finally realized that I was running for City Counsel. A friend advised me to campaign a little and I might be surprised with the results. I didn't win but I did get 70 votes. That's not bad for a small town.

Philadelphia
It was my mecca for a few years. Quaker Haven, William Penn territory. I had the opportunity to go there in 2019. It got cancelled in 2020 and 2021. We will see what happens in 2022. I would like to spend more time exploring the city.

The Rocky Statue seems to be a popular tourist attraction.

Great pics! I like the one with the kid holding the yellow umbrella jumping in the puddles. The Rocky Statue is a tourist scam.

The little girl's enjoying splashing in the puddle - reminds me of a similar shot of my young granddaughter . I really like the building (2nd last photo) - is that the William Penn building? The Joan of Arc statue really caught my eye - where is it's location? Thanks

I did notice that the line to see Rocky was longer than the line to see the Liberty Bell. My preference is to see Philadelphia in an off season for tourist. More time to explore and less time to stand in line.

It is actually my grands0n splashing in the puddle. The building is a Cathedral in Philadelphia. The Joan of Arc statue is also located there.

Great P pics Star. Today would be a great day to post any picture and just call it Pictures, lol.

Love the Joan of Arc statue. She was my favorite saint when I was a little girl, even took her name as my confirmation name when I was in Catholic school.
