“I was born in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. A move to nearby Burnham followed when I was ten, and I grew up there. I still come back to visit as often as I can and even lived in Lewistown as an adult for several years back in the late 60’s and early 70’s. I “reckon”, then, that the Lewistown area is home.”
Here are some recent photos of Lewistown, Pennsylvania. A stone from the grave of Abraham Lincoln can be seen at the base of the memorial on Monument Square which honors veterans from all wars. The stone is special because it is the only stone ever to have been removed from Lincoln’s tomb.
In nearby Burnham, Pennsylvania, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 791 is in the process of erecting a memorial to Mifflin County residents who died in Vietnam as well as to all veterans who served there.

“Hi”, more than 9,000 feet high (almost 3,000 meters), from the Pic du Midi in the Pyrénées of southern France . . . .
WOW! The view from the top of the Pic du Midi is breathtaking, and you can see just about “forever”! It’s not so easy to hike to the top, but you also can get there by cable car! There is a museum where you can see observation instruments which illustrate a century of scientific research, and there is also an observatory where scientists study the earth’s atmosphere, ozone layer, climate, and more! They are not just walking around up there with their heads in the clouds!
Did you know that the Bernard Lyot Telescope, which is the Pic du Midi’s most important telescope, is famous for being the first instrument in the world to be dedicated to the study of the stars’ magnetism?
Of course, it should not come as any surprise that skiing is quite popular on the Pic du Midi! They get a lot of snow! In fact, some peeks in the central Pyrénées are permanently snowcapped, and there are many glacial formations!
Skiing, throwing snowballs, look out below

Did you know that New Year’s Day is one of the oldest holidays in the world? Most people celebrate the beginning of the New Year on New Year’s Day, but were you aware that New Year’s Day varies from culture to culture depending on the calendar that is used.
For most people, New Year’s Day is on January 1! The celebration begins the night before on New Year’s Eve with parties, fireworks, and waiting up until midnight to welcome the New Year and to kiss, to shake hands, and to greet each with shouts of “Happy New Year”! In New York City, lots of people brave the cold in Times Square to watch the ball on the top of the Times Tower descend at midnight. Then on New Year’s Day, certain foods are eaten for good luck in the coming year. Do you eat anything special on New Year’s Day to bring you good luck?
If you would like to learn more about New Year’s Day, you are invited to be my guest at ENCYCLOPAEDIA Britannica Kids. . . . Ages 6-10, here, and ages 11-14, here.
Remember to send someone a postcard in the New Year, too! Send one readymade or upload your favorite New Year’s Day photo to share it with family and friends. There are many frames for both young and old from which to choose here!
