Old Schoolhouse by keeva999 Via Flickr: Near LeMars, Iowa. And I geotagged it! :) There used to be a small town here, of sorts. On the other side of this old school is what looks like an abandoned "general store." The concrete structure in the ground appeared to be a storm cellar, with the entrance to the right. Textures by Distressed Jewell and Lenabem-Anna. Hit L if you have time.

West Orange Glenmont, the estate of Thomas Edison. by Eugene Marrero Via Flickr: Located on the top of a hill in West Orange New Jersey in Llewellyn Park the first planned suburb in the United States, sits Glenmont, the estate of Thomas Edison built in 1882 part of the National Park Services Edison National Historic Park. Llewellyn Park the brainchild of Llewellyn Haskell envisioned a calm peaceful community away from the massive and overcrowded metropolises of New York and Newark; it was about 20 miles away from New York. Thomas Edison was in the process of moving his laboratory operations from the cramped confines Menlo Park New Jersey to larger more modern facilities in West Orange. Sadly Thomas’s first wife, Mary Stillwell Edison had passed away young in 1884, leaving Thomas a widower with 3 children. He was introduced to Mina Miller by a good friend in 1885 and they married in 1886, Thomas 39 and Mina 19. Thomas and Mina settled upon Glenmont which has story all its own (see link). Eventually when the lab moved to West Orange from Menlo Park, the location was perfect, Thomas Edison would walk down the hill as the Lab was just north of the community gate. Thomas and Mina raised 6 children at Glenmont, the 3 from his first marriage and 3 of their own. It was an amazing house for the time period, 23 rooms with 2 ½ bathrooms with flush toilets. It featured 23 fireplaces with 7 chimneys, 94 windows, hot & cold running water and gravity convection central heating. He would eventually add 6 more bathrooms, so obviously the kids must have fought over the bathrooms. When I last visited in the spring of 2009, visits to the home were opened only on Fridays, and you drove to the gate of Llewellyn Park which is still gated today indicated that you were visiting the National Park’s Edison Estate. www.thomasedison.org/index.php/education/edisons-home/ Reposting this capture originally posted March 25, 2013; two years ago 

Missing my Mom, passed one year ago today. It has been a tough year, getting used to the idea of being our family's matriarch hasn't sat well with me but I'm working on it. Love You!
