Happy Friday! It’s been a while since I joined in on a photo challenge. So, when I saw this week’s #362 Sports, Sporting Events, and Fun Games challenge at Wandering Dawgs, I thought of a fun event we recently attended and wanted to join the challenge. This baseball game was played at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. The players dressed up in vintage baseball uniforms and played with rules from 1867. That means NO baseball mitts (they weren’t invented yet), and many other slight variations from current baseball rules. It was a lot of fun!
And other miscellaneous NEW experiences:
Thanks to reading Travel Means Life, I was “in the know” when we saw several Quilt Gardens in Indiana.
Then, in Genesee County, New York, spotting quilt blocks on barns, houses, or sheds etc. is a thing! There is even a website about it {HERE}. Are there any other quilt related I-Spy-type hunts that I don’t know about??? :o)
And lastly, I thought I’d list the random museums we’ve visited in the last few weeks….just so you know that we do more than hike to waterfalls and visit national parks, haha!
We’ve visited:
Jell-O museum! (Did you know there’s such a place?!?)
The Corning Glass Museum
The Safe Haven Holocaust Museum
The Detroit Art Museum
The world’s largest Christmas store! (Bronner’s)
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
The Town of Stafford’s Historical Museum
The George Eastman Museum and House Tour
I think that’s enough for now. I gotta go research more NEW things to do, see, or learn about! Have a great day!

That’s a lot of places to visit in one trip. All so wonderful but you know my favorites. The garden quilt and barn quilts always have a special spot in my heart. Wish I could paint one here. 🙂 Hope you are still having fun.

Oh the quilt gardens are BEAUTIFUL! I need to show this post with Marlene, a friend of mine who will certainly appreciate the creativity. I agree with Terry on how much you discover in your open mind to new things.
Most of all, I love your photo at the top. The players look great, and they must be brave – no mitts! Your photo of them is outstanding. Like a glimpse back in time.

And I appreciate learning NEW things from you and other bloggers! It makes life so interesting. I love it! And, yes, that baseball game and the entire Greenfield Village was like stepping back in time! Henry Ford must have spent a fortune moving and/or recreating buildings there! It was fascinating.

I am SO GLAD you got to see some of the beautiful Quilt Gardens. Along this journey, it is sure fun to share places that we might not have otherwise known of them. Your photo of the vintage baseball game played is fantastic! I didn’t know about some of the museums, especially the jello one. Did they talk about carrots in jello? That is a staple in Utah! LOL

Yes, the museum hostess proudly showed us her Jello pin from the 2002 Utah Winter Olympics, and they had an entire exhibit section on Utah. So funny!

Yes, our jello pin was very popular at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Green jello. 🙂 It was a blast to be there!

The quilt block reminds me of Amish hex signs. Beautiful.

I wasn’t familiar with Amish hex signs, so I had to look it up. Interesting! Thanks for introducing me to something NEW!

Fab photos in all categories, Lenore. You’re seeing so many interesting places and things! I remember from years ago, when I’d hop in the semi with hubs for an east trip, I’d see the signs for Frankenmuth and Bonners. I always wished we’d have the time to make a detour and stop, but such isn’t the case when a load has to be delivered on time. Maybe someday🤞
