Big Girl took this shot with my phone…not bad eh?

You don’t see many of these around anymore.

On tonight’s Ghost Hunters at 9:00pm on the SyFy channel, they are airing their investigation of the Canfield Casino in Saratoga Springs, New York. I am not sure if I have mentioned the Canfield previously by name, however, many of my “playing in the park” photos are from Congress Park in Saratoga, which is where the Canfield is located. Zan and my wedding reception was held there 17 years ago, and I would give anything to get inside the building to take photos, but it is well guarded from people who don’t belong there.

Here is a newspaper article about tonight’s show.

And here is some information, including photos of the inside reception areas…it is a gorgeous building.

And lastly, the Wikipedia article highlighting Congress Park and the Canfield Casino.

The building is special to me, so I look forward to tonight’s episode, not because I believe it’s haunted, but because I can’t wait to get back inside after so many years! 🙂

UGH!

OK…so y’all know I’m not good with the whole “change” thing…but it is time to shake it up a bit.

Trying out a new theme.  Hoping this will allow me to use bigger photos.  Let’s have a go, shall we?

As most, if not all of you already know, our dear internet friend IvoryHut and her family experienced a terrible tragedy with the loss of their home and all possessions in a house fire two nights ago.  She, her husband, son and his grandmother barely escaped, and for that they are grateful and consider themselves blessed.  I am linking to a new website that has been set up to help Erika’s family in their critical time of need.  Please visit, read her story, and be thankful this day for the many blessings in your own lives, as am I.  We all could learn something from the strength with which she is facing this crisis.  If you are moved to help, the link below will take you there.
