Would You Live Here?

I want to live here. What do you think? Would you live in an old fire station? I think this has a ton of potential!

It’s very trendy right now to convert old schools, churches and other public buildings into private homes. I would love to see inside sometime.

I’m guessing there’s a ton of exposed brick!

Happy Saturday Ya’ll

Have a great day, friends! We made it through another week!

Amy’s Meatless Pepperoni Pizza

If you’re vegetarian, it can sometimes be hard to find convenience foods that taste like actual food. I don’t bring a lot of processed food into my home but sometimes it’s fun to have something out of the ordinary.

This Amy’s meatless pepperoni pizza called my name at the grocery the other day and it seemed worth a try.

Friends, it’s pretty darn good.

The fact it’s meatless doesn’t make it healthy. It’s still processed and it’s still frozen pizza but it’s a tasty, fun little treat if you’re inclined to try something new!

Spotting A Scout!

When I was a kid my grandpa owned an International Harvester Scout much like the one pictured above. His was green and a little older, I think. Nonetheless, childhood memories come rushing back each time I cross paths with an old Scout.

A precursor to the modern SUV, the Scout was a competitor of the popular Jeep. I’m a little sad the Scout didn’t survive.

If I had unlimited funds, I’d buy one to take on my adventures. Seems like a perfect adventuring car for a nerd girl with a flair for the vintage.

This little red number was parked outside the Silver Moon Diner last month. Isn’t it pretty?

It always surprises me how quickly memories flood in at the sight of an old car or even just by catching a whiff of perfume. We’re lucky, I suppose, to have the ability to summon a good memory with something so simple as an old car in a diner parking lot.

Did you ever drive a Scout? Tell me about it!

Pay Phones

This photo got a lot of play on my Facebook page last weekend.

Phone booths and pay phones used to be commonplace in cities and rural communities across the country. Today they’re such a rare sight I usually stop and take note when one presents itself. I actually wrote about pay phones on another occasion.

This little beauty is close to an old Masonic Hall turned community building and a cute little dairy bar in Frankfort, Ohio.

It’s another of those things that I photograph largely because they are being lost to time and progress. I wrote a little about that recently and about making pictures that depict all of the scene and not just the pretty part.

Read that here if you missed it.

It’s a weird thing to get excited about but it’s a sort of comfort that such a thing still exists.

Door Fascination

Doors and churches frequently appear here. Today’s picture combines the two subjects. Aren’t these the best doors for a country church?
