David and Kali's little one ...to be born in early January 2008

The picture
behind the picture

I took apart this painting of a woman reading to repair the frame. After grandma died I had put this picture on the wall in my bedroom. I returned home to find it fallen, broken on the floor behind my bed. Grandma always had the picture on the wall in her apartment although she once told me she did not like it because "it was a picture of Gordon's girlfriend". It was in the living room of the Miller home for many years.
I was surprised to find behind the picture of the mysterious brunette a charcoal drawing of Charles Kohler. It may be grandma's father although it does not look like the pictures I have seen of him. The edges of this drawing have been painted black so that it could act as a mat for the smaller painting of the woman which was put on top. On the back the artist has written: Charles Kohler, corner of Vista and East End, black coat and vest, $3.00 paid in good faith, price $7.00.
The frame is now put back together and touched up with a little gold paint.

Verses from Grandma published by Meredith:

A photo of a photo at Brockport Yacht Club. Anybody know the year? 

This team is great....after a long volley they make the point! 

Its time out ...the coach gets serious. 

Rox serves......another point for the Buckeye team! 

Number 17, Roxanne, spikes it over the net!!! 

Roxanne is very happy.... her team won First Place in Club Volleyball tournament in Toledo.

39 East Main Street LeRoy, New York

Built circa 1850, this house was originally sheathed in board and batten siding. This was replaced by clapboards and in 1977 vinyl siding was added. Despite the loss of details, its character as a Gothic Revival cottage can still be appreciated. The home has steeply pitched gable roofs, wooden finials and pointed arched windows with label moldings. The entrance is emphasized by a tower with an ogee shaped window and a tripartite door with sidelights.
John Murdoch puchased this home from Hamden Olmstead in 1867. The succession of owners : Maria Matthews in 1882, Edward Rogerson in 1891, William Niccloy in 1945, Robert Brooks in 1957, John Peterson in 1968, William Dunning in 1971 and Kenneth Benedict in 1985.

Home in North Bergen

7083 North Bergen Road. This house was built by Aaron Gifford, North Bergen Postmaster, in 1870. George Walker, a farmer, purchased the home in 1891. Until 1988, his daughter, Alice Walker, lived here. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, the Gifford/Walker farmhouse is an outstanding example of carpenter gothic architecture. The steeply pitched gable roofs, bargeboards at the eaves, dripstone moldings and board and batten wall sheathing, are all elements of the Gothic Revival style. Of special note is the use of ogee arched openings at the recessed porch which employs both lattice works posts and fluted columns as supports.
