Thursday Doors: Old World Wisconsin

Norwegian farm door

My contribution to the Thursday Door Challenge comes from Old World Wisconsin, which I just discovered last weekend. It's a wonderful historical site where they've gathered 19th century buildings from across the state. I love learning about history by seeing places like this.

    Those are classic doors. I love the wooden screen door inside the weathered wooden door.

      The one with a screen is used as a kitchen so you'd want to keep the flies out. Thanks for hosting.

    Love these old doors, they remind me on where I lived before a year ago, where the vineyards of North California are. I miss these views in the suburbs! Emille (Jesh)

      They aren't like anything you see in the suburbs. Great rugged craftsmanship. Thanks for visiting.

      There's something timeless. I love that these were hand made. There's more character in them.

  Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to dig into the past and share photos based on a visual prompt. This week we have a smiling couple with a shiny, sleek car.

  Sepia Saturday has challenged bloggers with a photo of a man playing solitaire. Playing cards, solo or with others, is a fine pastime. I fondly remember my grandmother teaching me and my siblings to shuffle cards and play gin. An aunt tried to teach us poker. Bridge is a game that seems to have ended with my mother's generation. She still plays, but I never learned. (I do have one friend from high school who joined the high school bridge club. Now I wish I had.) Here's what I found while searching the Library of Congress archives. Opper, Frederick Burr, Artist.  McKinley has almost all the chips; - but the game is young, yet / F.Opper . , 1894. N.Y.: Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, January 3. Photograph. https://www.loc.gov/item/2012648746/. Poker . , 1902.

Weekend Coffee Share

  Weekend Coffee Share is a time for us to take a break out of our lives and enjoy some timely catching up with friends (old and new)! If we were having coffee, I’d tell you about the talk i heard last night. My neighbor, Art Muir gave a talk about his Everest climb. At 75, Art’s the oldest American to reach the summit. He started mountain climbing at age 68 and has climbed several other high mountains. He first attempted Everest in 2019, but was injured and had to turn back. This time he made it. His photos ad videos were stunning. His narrative was witty, humble and fascinating. I did discover another glorious church with stunning architecture, St. Gregory the Great. Built in 1924, the current building exemplifies the influence of Medieval Gothic (aka English Gothic). It’s a gem with a dedicated, albeit small, multicultural community.   St Gregory the Great, 5545 N. Paulina, Chicago I’m delighted that people have recommended more special churches to visit. This week I found...
