Ramblings, Sept 23 Japanese Internment  exhibit  ..FDR museum ..Part 1

donnacornick

Another fantastic and very full day which began with touring the temporary exhibit of Photos by Dorthea  Lange and Ansel Adams of Japanese Interment in thr FDR museum.The exhibit is very moving and recognizes a dark, unjust time in our history.   Took so many photos that can’t seem to load here. Will try Facebook. Posted to FB.

Then spent about 1 hour in the museum.  Most moving part to me is in the lower level where FDR’s actual desk and chair used at the White House are located. The arms of the chair are so worn due to his efforts to lift himself from the chair. Photos on FB.

Leaving the museum, one of the Rangers asked me if I wanted to ride up to Top Cottage and see how that tour goes. Oh yes, and rode the bus to TC. Posted to FB

I next drove to Rhinebeck and spent the afternoon with dear  friends, Dick and Linda. We visited and had mindful conversation about history, politics,  travel, what to do in Hudson Valley. Made plans to get together on Sept 29 to celebrate my birthday.

I took a huge number of photos today (over 400) that will not load to the blog. Kinda frustrating .

Finally was able to add some photos..she persisted

    1. You are most welcome. Glad you are following. Getting photos to the blog have become an issue as I so many photos. So photos may only be on FB unless I can figure out the problem

  2. Hi, Donna. Sounds like you are having a great time and learning a lot and becoming indispensable–all good! Glad you had a nice visit with Dick and Linda. Great photos. Keep on blogging!

    We’re back in CH and hope soon to be back to our daily routines. The past couple of days we’ve been out of sync with our normal schedules.

    Have a good Sunday!

    Xoxo,

    1. Glad you are back in USA. Takes time to settle back in.

      Great to see Dick and Linda. We plan to celebrate my birthday on the 29th. They seem really good.

      Plan to go to service at St. James Episcopal tomorrow.
