Oh West Point, Gettysburg, no wait, Oh Canada!
It's the week after Easter and I have a couple of days work to do at the CMX Expo in Toronto; Jackson has nothing to do this week, so I have a rider for the week. On the way out of NC we saw the truck shown below, reminded me of Chatham Mills in Pittsboro; good bologna and dog food! However I think I will stay with House Autry for my seafood breader.

Before we left Morehead Jackson made an appointment with an admissions officer at West Point. Captain Joseph gave us a good overview of USMA. Sorry no pictures, but a very impressive place. I'm really proud of Jackson for even considering a place like that.

On the way to Toronto we stopped at one of my favorite places in the world, Niagara Falls. Probably has to do with a 1960 (?) visit there with my parents, Dave, and Grandma. Absolutely beautiful.......

On Friday afternoon as we got ready to leave Jackson's new favorite city, we couldn't resist a shot up the CN Tower. Here is Jackson standing on a glass floor 342 meters in the air. We went on up to the highest observation deck at 447 meters. So that you don't have to go look up metric conversion, that's 1465 feet.Here's the view under Jackson's feet:
Here is yet another shot of Jackson at the NC monument in Gettysburg; we've taken this same picture before. This is the high water mark of the Confederacy and Great-Grandfather John W. Riley was there with the CSA Company B NC 47th infantry regiment.

As we left Gettysburg Saturday afternoon Jackson's proud Irish blood pressure got a little elevated as we saw yet another example of sterotypical bias; wonder where the leprechaun was?

Off to Virginia next week, top of the morning to you!
Oh, by the way, I know many of you read this just to check on the house; the painters started last week; the white ceilings really accentuate the height of the room! If only I had known they weren't white before, I might could appreciate them more. They made a big mess; I'm ready to get all of them out of our house.

And MY cypress ceiling is finished and looks great; trying to figure out what color paint to use on them................thinking fire engine red; just kidding, how about Ferrari red?

House pictures next week; I promise
