Will the real Santa Stand Up

what a day. went to the dentist. had a have x -ray and the girl used latex and I can not use it . Had to get a shot no fun at all .Here is my story I love to hear every year at church..God bless you all on this Christmas day!!
The Christmas Story - St. Luke 2: 1 – 14
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them at the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace,good will toward men.

New post should be and running Midgie. Hope you like the picture I had to test with. Some in the blogger group are having a hard time figuring it all out. Hope you had a great day!! Love ya,,,Me

COPAKE FALLS, NEW YORK


THE FURNACE at the Copake Iron Works, the ruins of which can be seen in the photograph to the right, was constructed in 1845 by Lemuel Pomeroy and his sons. Lemuel was from Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The remains of this furnace are now part of the Taconic State Park and can be found adjacent to the park managers home near the bottom of High Valley Road.

Four critical ingrediants were needed to establish an iron works in the mid eighteen-hundreds, all were abundantly available at this site in Copake Falls. Quality iron ore, limestone for flux, an abundant source of hardwood for charcoal, and sufficient water power to drive the bellows for the furnace. The Iron Works were located on the Bash Bish Creek, which supplied the power for the furnace, and later the forge that was developed. There were extensive beds of first quality iron ore surrounding it. Some of the best, but cold, swimming in the area is at the "Ore Pit' in the Taconic State Park. The limestone came from a quarry, not far distant, in what is now the hamlet of Copake. The hardwood was harvested in the mountains above the iron works at High Valley Farm and one can still see evidence of the "charcoal pits" where the wood was converted into charcoal.

The miners, who supplied the iron ore for the furnace, originally lived in crude dwellings, many of which were made of rough bark, and contained no more than one room. It is reported that the maximum wage was 70 cents a day at that time. It is also reported that the iron works manufactured about 2,500 tons of blast iron each year. The iron was used to manufacture car wheels. Later axles, gun barrels, plowshares and bar iron were made.

In 1862 the iron works was sold to Frederick Miles.
