Indiana, Fall 2020, Odds and Ends, Part 1

A cold front blew through on one of our days in Indiana in October, 2020, bringing rain and significantly colder temperatures.  The wind caused a temporary power outage in our country cabin that lasted for a few hours.

My wife had been out into the local area with relatives, visiting antique and craft stores, while I was out shooting photos.  She wanted to see a few more of these places and venture further away, so we made plans to do this, during the colder, rainy weather.

I did not take my DSLR on our outing, but I used my iPhone to capture a few images of some of the items on display in the antique stores.

I’m not much for acquiring these old items, but am intrigued by some of these items.  Especially, the old craftsman type tools, maybe because I’m a bit of a do-it-yourselfer, with some experience with woodworking.

I actually have a collection of old rules (and a few marking gauges, too).  My rules are very much like those in the photo above.  I was into collecting these years ago.  I still like these old rules and I’m tempted to purchase others, but so far, I’m resisting the urge to acquire more.

I wonder what the honeymoon was like after consuming a bottle of Golden Wedding Whiskey?

Maybe with Marilyn it would still be a good honeymoon.
