The last day of August with Poppop.
I was able th participate in a 150 mile bike run. It was the MS Bike to the Bay (September 29-30, 2007) in Delaware. I have a few friends who suffer from multiple sclerosis. I have watched as they have become more and more restricted in their ability to get about and even talk. I have always felt like my hands were tied and have actually felt silly not being able to help. Since posting the original announcement of my involvement, I have been made aware of certain Myspace friends who are affected by this terrible disease. Now I have been given a way help. Something right up my alley, where I could show my love and care by putting my bike tires in motion for two days and peddling toward raising some money to help those affected MS. It was a wonderful event.
A special thank you to all who donated. You ROCK!

There is some really cool history captured in this photo. It dates back to the late 1800's. The railroad station still stands today. However, it is in rough shape. An investor from nearby recently bought it and is interested in developing it into a restaurant or office complex. That would be awesome. To think that it can easily be torn down is a miserable option.

Take note of the structure in the background. The freight station is now Railroad Records Music Studio. Over 10 years ago it was slated to be used as a practice fire site by the Sewell Fire Company. They were going to set it ablaze and have at it with their ladders and hoses. I wanted it preserved and made it known. The reply was, "it's your's if you can move it". So, I did just that. I had it moved to my property a few blocks away. It now sits safely on my property, complimenting my home, built in 1885.

I am not so keen on seeing our historic landmarks being destroyed. I'm thinking you might feel the same way. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

The Sewell Railroad Station today. And so goes our grand history.
