Celebrating 70

Earlier this week, Jerry and I, were off to Brookville, PA. Jerry's family is from Brookville, and although there is nobody there anymore, he likes to visit every year or so. This was his first choice for celebrating his 70th birthday.

So back to the mountains we drove, on the old road, providing memories for Jerry and new scenery for me. Brookville is near a very important town: Punxsutawney, where Punxsutawney Phil predicts the length of winter every February 2nd.

It's a nice little town, and Punxy Phil is all over the place! The pictures below share his many occupations!












As you can see, Phil is a dentist, mailman, fireman, travel agent, welcome man, banker, coal miner, flower man, pizza man and more!

He still lives at Gobbler's Knob, which Jerry and I visited one year.

But, Brookville is where we're headed. After checking in, the first place on the agenda was Buff's Ice Cream Shop. Here lies the famous teaberry ice cream that Jerry loves. And he indulged! as you can tell by the picture below! Three scoops of teaberry in his banana split!


Celebrating 70 will continue in the next post.
