Speaking of bicycles -


I posted this photo on Facebook, but not everyone looks at FB on a regular basis.  We have had this  photo for years - I had it restored over 20 years ago - but am not sure exactly where it is.  So when I found the negative we had had made, I had another photo printed.

The bicycle racer who is exactly in the middle of the 5 bikes is Harry Francis Terrill, the father of Harry Porter Terrill Sr., who is the father of our Harry Porter Terrill Jr. who is the father of Harry Francis Terrill - not Harry Jr. as everyone is wont to call him.

I feel like I explain it all the time - so I'm just explaining it again one more time!!

Do you know what happened 237 years ago today?

Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

Seems appropriate for the day after I pick Harry up after the Boston Marathon!

So, do you know what tomorrow is - besides Eliza's birthday?
