We got up later on Saturday to head on to Asheville. We left Stauton behind and South around 11:00am. Around lunch time we decided to pull over and seek out a new local restaurant. I looked through my book and found a wonderful place called Hollywood’s restaurant and Bakery.
A bit blurry, but I have a better one to follow.
It was wonderful. The owner came over several times to check and see if our needs were being met. We had a wonderful lunch and made sure we saved room for dessert. They had something on the menu called “Better Than Sex Chocolate Cake”. We had to try it.
It was marvelous!!! It had chunks of chocolate inside. It’s a real close up which is better. I love me some chocolate, but I also love me some Buddy.
I don’t remember the name of this Ginger ale, however, it is made in Patterson, NJ and it was the best I ever had. I’ll have to Google it and find out.
We arrived home in the early evening. It was good to be home, however, I miss my family.
Blessings!
I’m afraid this is the only picture that I can show. When I had the pictures developed I had all the pictures lightened, however, I don’t know how to do it on my computer. The other pictures turned out very good. Too bad you can’t see them.
Peter took this shot of the three of us sitting in the theater.
Look at that line to get into the theater. Peter was a sweetheart and took me to the front of the line so I didn’t have to stand too long.
A bit blurry. I wish I could keep my hands more steady.
Poor Mikey. He had to be shut up for the entire time we were away. He was such a good doggie–he didn’t make one mess on the floor of the laundry room. Buddy rewarded him with a good time outside.
Happy dog! You know he was glad to see us come home. Mikey is a people type dog.
On Thursday we started packing to leave. I hated to leave. We both had such a good time. Buddy said that it was the closest he has had to family in many years. We were both sad to go.
Saying good bye to Jeannie.
This was the railroad station
Just a cute house on Main Street
House next door
Look at all the flowers!
This is the town park or square.
A beautiful Cathedral with its 44 hand-painted windows. It required 400 hours to make this one building.
Movie house and department store.
This is one of my favorites. An Esso station with cars filling up and an attendant.
Closer picture of Esso station.
This was taken from behind a waterfall. The trustle bridge is the type built through the mountain areas during early construction days. The miniature is sufficiently stron to withstand the weight of several men. This waterfall spills into a lake that holds a ton and a half of water. All the water in the display enters into this lake and is recirculated.
This is a back water resort of our Eastern States.

Ben Franklin-village printer, inventor and letter writer.
Charles A Gieringer, father of Laurence Gieringer, the practical harness maker for the village.
For over a hundred years, people took their dough to Peter Miller’s Bake Shop, where it was baked for a penny a loaf.
This I didn’t know. This is a beautiful white stucco house from a style originated by the Pueblo Indians in the southwest. It has been mistakenly classed as of Spanish origin, but it is truly American.
Laurence’s wife, Dora, is credited for making the shrubbery and trees which beautify the landscape at Roadside America.
I tried to get an overall view of the room.
Buddy and I had a wonderful time looking at all the miniatures.
Heading out of town the next morning, I snapped this picture. Don’t know why that sculpture was there, but I thought it was unique.
