Dinner-n-More

No, not really. It was a Christmas feast in 1850 and we made our annual trip to the Genesee History Village Christmas with out good pals, Jack and Linda. It is an architectural museum, and you walk from building to building jumping 10 years each time. C-O-L-D, and candle lit. It is always a good time. This is a chandler from a church, very surprising how much light it really put out. Christmas in 1830, not so much, 1870, drunken Scottsmen...
Ok, so this year , the tour ended, after you come back to 2009 in the art museum that is on the property. THE HISTORY OF DESSERTS AND DOG PAINTINGS! I am not kidding you, they could have just named it KYLE'S MUSEUM. One side were all these antique cooking devices, Victorian cake molds, Jelly molds, mixers etc.. VERY INTERESTING.. you know, if you are me
This is a collection of antique sugar bowls. starting out in 1800 , when refined sugar was very rare, ending ,in a sugar explosion 80 years later.
A sterling silver flat ware quiz! Come on kiddies!! Christmas came early for Kyle!
The other side of the small museum were all these dog and hound pictures, now the exhibit were the real life riding togs and horse wares that were in the painting, sleds, guns, etc, but all I cared about at all were the thirty pictures of DICKIES!!! It was fantastic. Linda did not have a pocket book with her, so unlike the Del Taco Edward Hopper that is in my hall right now, none of these came home with me.
We went back over to Jack and Linda's NEW TOWNHOUSE for Pizza and Birthday Cake . They have only lived here for TWO days, so lots of boxes, but it is a lovely home.
