Getting A Tune-Up

 Trading my desktop for a hospital bed for just a few days.

A step toward feeling better soon,

you could call it "the most expensive hotel in town".

- my room has a great view -

- I had an urge for some chocolate, the hubs brought me this -

- outside the hospital -

I have been able to color and catch up on television

in between tests.

Just getting some well deserved TLC from the amazing nurses and doctors.

Ardena School No. 2

 Out for a drive in Howell Township, we came across...

Ardena School No. 2 

We pass this old school house often, when we drive the backroads in Howell.

Built in 1855, it operated as a one room educational facility for children in that rural area. 

A single room school with a 15 x 16 foot frame, and an outhouse.

The structure later became a church, 

as it resembled a church, and a new school was built.

It later became a school again and parents were required to pay for their children to be educated here.

It was moved here to this spot in 1971,.

The hubs saw it being placed here as he went by on the school bus.

He grew up here in Howell Township, New Jersey were the school is now located.
