Forevertron, Wisconsin

 S7703 US Highway 12, North Freedom, WI 53951 "Dr. Evermor's Forevertron is the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world..." It is fun to see, more my hubby's style than mine ...I mean to see it in person is just amazing how huge these critters are ...apparently there are many movies that were filmed there. There is a variety shop at the front and you pretty much say I wanna see "Forevertron" and they tell you where to head to see these awesome finds. Neat-O!! right??! What fun. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Batesville Market, 6624 Plank Road, Batesville, VA 22924 (434)823-2001 https://batesvillemarket.com/ What was delicious there you might ask?

Wish I had known and I would gotta a few more.

Hey there, sad to say this is the LAST of the "covered bridges" in Minnesota. Am I the only one that truly can feel a dragger to the heart when hearing that statement?? Can you imagine??! SHOCKER!!! Wow, I can say that I honestly don't get what the world is coming to ...what "kids these days" enjoy and don't enjoy, it really blows my mind and I wish I could understand and see there end result and so in so. What about history? What about where we came from? What made us who we are today? All that jazz. YOU KNOW??!?!  I am so so so happy that Zumbrota, Minnesota has taken the time to restore this ONE COVERED BRIDGE and is keeping it in good condition.... I just wish they had done more to the others who did not survive. Thank you fo...
