Red Barn

These are from the Long Valley area (NJ) where we were driving yesterday. I’ll be traveling this week, so I’ll leave you with these pictures. If I’m able to get on and write, I will.

Oldwick, New Jersey

A quiet post office on an early Saturday afternoon. A new firehouse in Oldwick…with so much growth, it became necessary. They did a nice job though, it’s beautiful with the stone front.

Driving in New Jersey

Gas prices, $2.97 for regular in my part of New Jersey today. I love this section of highway. I love how smooth and round the wall is as you drive by it. It’s a simple pleasure, but I just like it. This used to be a single lane road, and it was finally widened, and [...]

Fun in the Sun

We went to the Jersey shore yesterday and stayed over….gorgeous day, lot of fun. We decided to go to the pool from about 4 to 6pm. I had just gotten out, and told my son he’d have to get out in a few minutes. He decided he needed to play a little longer. Look Mom, [...]

Barnegat Tolls

We were driving down the Garden State Parkway today, and I noticed they were taking down half of the Barnegat toll booth area. They’re now updated it like others, where they charge double going one way, and nothing going the other. As as EZ-Pass user, the other update I’ve been noticing this past year is [...]
