Visiting your blog has always been a treat. I'd really like to one day visit out west, your road trips look like so much fun! I love that old encyclopedia cabinet that your sweetie found you... and I know you were so excited to find those old bottles, they are perfect for the top of your cabinet : ) Well, I'll talk to you again soon, have a great weekend! <br />P.S. Glad you put away and saved the yellow pup! That post is so cute!

It took some doing, but Bubba finally stopped barking at them the whole time they're together.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out there was more to Arizona than just cactus lol The desert does have it's beauty though, especially when you look at it through the eyes of someone that loves it :)<br /><br />xoRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-47559871606421657932017-03-09T07:12:45.405-07:002017-03-09T07:12:45.405-07:00Thank you for sharing that history, Julie!

Yes, I too would prefer to live points north, but resides in Hades on Earth in the long hot Summers. I have to agree with John, although it took me many a years appreciating the beautiful desert ( snow on the desert floor is stunning ). Sounds like a fun road trip you had with John and his doggies.

And I've said the same thing about ghost towns...how could they have just packed up and left??!! Old jails??!! YES...I love them! And I agree with you, I think they are haunted. We visited one up in PA, where they filmed part of the movie 12 Monkeys...that place creeped me out big time!! I would not go in there at night...it was scary enough during the day!

Pauly is still active, and still located in Missouri (http://www.paulyjail.com/about/history.html). A chief competitor, Diebold, still manufactures items like ATM machines and voting booths today. Pauly & Diebold jails are all over the West and Southwest; they're similar to Sears mail-order homes. They were both started by immigrants in the Midwest as the Industrial Revolution geared up in the mid-1800s. Anyway, I get ridiculously excited when these old buildings pop up in other people's stories. Thanks again, and please keep the blogs coming!<br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151377157967109292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-1471883445643379262017-03-02T16:33:01.177-07:002017-03-02T16:33:01.177-07:00You two make a lovely couple.
