Freaky Frugalite

Ana of Chica&Pumuckl tagged me with a picture meme! I am so excited, I haven’t done a meme in so long. I know some folks don’t like memes (they can be a chore sometimes), but I rather like them. So Ana, thank you for thinking of me. I’d been wanting to do a meme.

Here are the rules:
1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your bloggy and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 other glorious peoples to do the same thing and leave a comment on their bloggy tellin’ them ’bout it.

Like Ana, I have a lot of photos all organized into folders. I have hundreds and hundreds of photos (over a thousand, actually) because I take a lot when we travel, for my travel blog. I have them organized in sets. So I chose the 6th set, which is Bagg’s Square in Utica. And then I chose the 6th photo, which is:

There’s a little red caboose behind the Children’s Museum in Utica, NY, located at Bagg’s Square. The kids loved it! We had fun taking photos and running around the place. My daughter, in the back there, tends to get a little, um, exuberant, about these things.

Bagg’s Square is a historic place- the first tavern was built right here in the 1700s (that’s old for us Americans). Nearby, stood a fort that guarded this area of the Mohawk River. George Washington, Benedict Arnold, and others visited this tavern during the Revolutionary War. Here’s another picture of a memorial plaque next to the area:

The kids loved exploring the place, and I did, too! Bagg’s Square is historic, which is interesting, but there’s also a Children’s Museum here, and Union Station is here, too, so we can watch the trains go by. If you are interested, you can read more about our trip to Bagg’s Square and the Children’s Museum. But I’m warning you- there are a LOT of photos!

So now I get to tag some folks for this meme. As is my custom, my tags are merely suggestions. If you are tagged and you do not feel like playing along, that’s just fine. Just know that you are loved, lol. So here are my 5 glorious peoples, thus officially tagged in no order:

1. Carole
2. Threecollie
3. The Historian, Ms. Mecomber
4. Jean
5. You! If you want to do this, I’d LOVE to read it! Leave your link in the comment area so I can visit you.
