Just a bit of trivia for tonight. The only president born in Cayuga County where we live in New York State was Millard Fillmore. Nothing much has been done to honor his birthplace except for a sign and a flag. Local businesses have given donations in his honor and a Memorial Pavilliom and plaque in Summer Hill is being erected honoring our 13th president. Just a small piece of local history I thought was interesting. Lilly

  1. That's very interesting and I know his descendants are very appreciative. I hope you will get to visit there and give us a report. Hope you have had a good day.

  3. Hello, Your grandpa's apricots sounds very tasty. I have heard that there is nothing as good as a ripe, fresh apricot!
    How nice that your friend gves you apricot jam and you give her one of your lovely doilies. You could write a blog and describe your pretty doilies to us. Sometimes words are better than a picture! I am sorry you had to give up Sandy. I hope you have had a good weekend and I'll check in with your blog next time you post.

    If they are building a pavallion for Fillmore that is a good thing..
