The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes. Frank Lloyd Wright

No house should ever be on a hill or on anything.  It should be of the hill.  Belonging to it.  Hill and house should live together, each the happier for the other.
Frank Lloyd Wright
Last week Debra and I went to see Kentuck Knob, a house that Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Bernadine and I. N. Hagan on eighty acres, in the mountains east of Uniontown, PA.  Mr. Wright was eighty-six years old at the time he designed the Hagan’s home, and it was one of the last homes he completed.

The light moves across the patio as the day lengthens and shortens.


The landscaping is amazing.

The birdhouses made me wish I as a bird for moment.
 
Roses on the Overlook

Debra and I had lunch at The Summit Inn.  The Summit Inn has hosted guests for more than one hundred years.
 

The food was as good as the atmosphere.

I’m so grateful that Debra is here.  She is a great friend.
A beautiful fireplace
 
I had to stop and take a picture of this old red barn.
I call this drive-by photography.  You drive until you see something you want to shoot.



Phil took me along with him to Indiana, PA to check in materials for the project.  Of course I brought the camera along.

I was intrigued by the drive through strip club between Delmont and New Alexandria.

This has been a busy time for us.  We are having some remodeling done to the fifth wheel (pictures to follow), and Debra and I have been doing a lot of sightseeing.  I’ve also been doing some more canning.  I love it, though.
Debra and I rode out US 40, which use to be called the National Pike, the first major road in the United States.
This old tollhouse is still standing.



The Fares


We both took pictures of this ivy covered barn

And this old stone house

We were both fascinated with the Fayette County Court House in Uniontown.  Just look at this architecture!

Tomorrow is my birthday, so Phil took me out for a lovely dinner on Cheat Lake at Archie’s Lakehouse.

Debra and Al met us there for dinner.

Inside the restaurant.

The view from the deck, where we sat.

Debra gave me a beautiful bracelet. It is glass that was fired in a kiln.

Baked myself a Red Velvet cake for my birthday.

The ducks came to wish me a Happy Birthday.

I’m reading a new series this week.
