Old covered bridge ...

This is a photo of the Eldean covered bridge in Troy, OH.  A friend of mine from there took this picture (with his drone, I think) and it brought back a lot of memories.  One of my favorite memories of this bridge was how each year on Christmas Eve, my wife, my son and I would take a drive around the area at night and always drive through this bridge. It was nice when there was snow on the ground or especially if it happened to be snowing that night. Quiet. Peaceful.

Oh, and BTW, one of the other places we would go at that time of year, was up on the levy in Troy at midnight on New Year's Eve and just sit on one of the swings, listening to the celebrations taking place in places like The Brewery, and the uptown dining places. Cold, but again, peaceful.  

Kinda miss those places and times -- no snow here, no covered bridges and no levys.  Oh well, I also wasn't playing golf up there at those times like I am here in NC. 

May be an image of covered bridge

Again, those were fond memories, but time marches on.  And like a lot of old memories, I'm sure we thought it was really cold and nasty at the time. 😕
