"By the time I got to Woodstock..." I was 39 years late...LOL


We live not far from Bethel, NY, site of the 1969 Woodstock concert/festival...I did not move here until 1975


In Aug 1969, I was not even in the country! I was studying in Spain! But I would not have gone anyway....


After many years, a local billionaire,Alan Gerry, built Bethel Woods a performing arts center..very nice...

This week a Woodstock museum opened there....very well down..class act all the way...and we got to to see film and artifacts from the actual event


very moving actually..esp the part where the Army helicopter comes with medical help and the guy screams..:"THEY ARE WITH  US!"


we went with friends..also of that era!

also this week, local turtles have deemed our yard the perfect to bury their eggs! by Aug we may be the turtle nursery!


we are near a lake..but they must climb uphill to get here


I guess they like the open, sunny spot
