  Frank Romano Museum of Printing 15 Thornton Ave Haverhill MA 01832 My brother and I came across this museum on printing. We were looking for a restaurant and saw this sign. We knew so little of it; in fact we didn't know it existed. We decided to go there before eating (the restaurant special started at 4 and we were early and the museum closed at 4). It was a short distance from the restaurant that we had planned to eat at.  The museum doesn't look like much since it is a simple design. We didn't realize the treasure that was inside till we got inside and had someone give us a tour. I was amazed how many early type of printing presses there were; from all years. They from many years ago to more recent.  I took some photos of the inside with its amazing printers. I will post some here and more in another post.  Here are some of the early printing presses. I think they are really cool. Here is one of the bigger ones. There was ones that were bigger and some that wer...

  This is my latest win on eBay. It is from the YouTube channel Abandoned and Forgotten Places. The eBay name is hidden.treasures.abound. I had won different rocks / samples that they have put up for bids at eBay.  I think this is a cool way to support them and their adventures exploring abandoned mines and it is a neat way to have something that they encountered during their explorations.  I won this by luck and by God's grace. I put bids on their other samples but I was soon outbid for them. I am blessed that I won this one. I don't mind being outbid for the others since my loss is their gain.  Here are the three samples of iron pyrite that I won. I believe it is also called 'fools gold'. I think they are really neat. It came with two sheets of documentation; both signed by Gly. I think the documents is just as cool as the samples.  Here are the same rocks as the first photo but laid upside down when compared to the first photo. The document in this photo is t...

  I like to support the adventures of exploring mines at Abandoned and Forgotten Places via their eBay page - hidden.treasures.abound .  Below are rocks that I won the bid on at eBay at their page of hidden.treasures.abound . I think these (above and below) are long crystal pyrite. I think it is really neat looking. I have them in a bowl on display in my house.  I believe this (above and below) is obsidian rock. It looks really neat. I believe this is the rock they make different things from; cutting tools, arrow heads, etc.. I think this is the fluorite? I am not sure of the name. I think it glows under UV light? I think it is way cool. I was lucky to win the bid on this.  This is one of the papers that came with the rocks that I won a bid on. It has his name / signature on it. I think this makes it extra cool.  I totally forgot what this is but it is really cool looking and they are really big; bigger than the other rocks. It seems a lot but there are two pho...

  My brother and I are fans of the YouTube channel Abandoned and Forgotten Places. We like to watch their videos on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They go to places / mines that we would never go to since we don't have their experience and we would not know how to explore them safely.  We are fans of their YouTub e channel - Abandoned and Forgotten Places . We explore the mines through them. We also like to support them via their eBay page. It is named hidden.treasures.abound . I have found their page doesn't always come up when I type it in but it works when I go to their YouTube page and click on their link. I hope this link works.  They also have other links there too. AF&P Merchandise   eBay .  Tip Jar Via PayPal .  Tip Jar Via Venmo . Tip Jar Via Cash App . Facebook . Instagram . Twitter .         These links can be found on their YouTube page . Some of the above are ways to support them and a way to be part  of the adventu...

I bought this book since it is Winnie the Pooh and it is from Disney. I wanted to read a Winnie the Pooh book and have found a few of them; this is one of them.  The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh; A Classic Disney Treasury I have found it to be well written and well illustrated. I really enjoyed reading it. The illustrations are like the ones in the movie on Winnie the Pooh. I have noticed it is different from another Winnie the Pooh book; one that has the complete tales. It seems this is the Disney version of the book; slightly different than the complete book. It is not different in a bad way but different in a good way.  I think one doesn't have to be young to enjoy this book (and others on Winnie the Pooh). I think it can be enjoyed by those of all ages.  Here is the back of the book. There doesn't seem to be much information on it.  I bought it from the Thriftbooks site. It was quite affordable. Since they sell used books; they might not have another copy....

  The Constitution of the United States and Other Founding Documents.            I found this book in an unique location. I found it at a Five Below store among other books. It was really affordable. I think it was made quite well.          It is not a huge book. It would not take long to read it through. I think it is a very informative book even for its small size. I think every American should read it. Reading it would give everyone an idea of what is and isn't in it. I also find the other documents that was included to be very informative too.            I am amazed that the back is so plain. I think it adds to its elegance. I like that it is a hard back book. It might not be an expensive hard back but one would not expect it to be for the price I paid for it.  Here are some places that have it; Five Below - not sure if the stores still has it or not. Amazon - they have simila...

  I bought this book at Thriftbooks (probably also available at other sites and locations but this is where I acquired my copy). I had gotten enough points for a free book and I chose this one. I believe Thriftbooks sells used books (the used ones I get there are usually in great shape and the prices are very good; in my opinion).            It is a simple easy to read book. Just because it is for the youth doesn't mean those who are 'young at heart' cannot read it. Since I am in the 'young at heart' category, I read it. I not only read it but also enjoyed it too.           It shows the origins of Paddington and how he came about to be part of the family he is with. I believe it is from the perspective of a family member that we know of Paddington's adventure. He has a few in the book.           It seems to be the first in many Paddington Bear's book. I think they could be worth reading....
