Jen takes us to Bok Towers / Historic Landmark

   Well last Sat. Jen, dad and I went to Bok Towers!  It is located in Lake Wales.  I really enjoyed it alot, beautiful grounds and it was a perfect breezy day for this day out! We left in morning so it was good and we missed the really big crowd that showed up just as we were leaving the place.   I got to go inside an old home from 1932 called Pinewood Estate. A man named Austin Buck lived in it still his death in 1945.  His wife never got to enjoy it or live in it for she died of a stroke before it was completed.  sad.  It sets upon a big hill over seeing the city of Lake Wales.  After two other families lived there after Mr. Buck died,  Bok decided to buy the house and the acres cause he had the money and it set high upon the hill......he had made it good here in the U. S. and wanted to give back .  Will paste in picture soon.

My hometown

In my hometown there were three neighborhoods that were not where the rich and famous lived...ha!  and they were called  : Bunker Hill .....Dad lived here
                                     Pear Ochard...I lived here
                                    North End....well not too well off here either

The rich and famous lived in a place called Burnett Heights  ....beautiful homes where you would dream that one day you might just get to live there. ha!  Vincennes, Indiana my hometown  look so big to me back then and now I look at it and think its so small.... guess because I was just a kid back then made it look bigger to me then.
