As for Whitesprings I dare say it's the bubbling water but I'm not sure. Benjamin also has some videos too ~ he'll be able to see his Grandad come to life. There is a five or two second clip of my Dad walking through the farmyard and smirking as he passes the camera ~ that short clip beats every photo because his face is alive ... his every nuance ...

Is the name Whitesprings from bubbling water or alkaline water or ? I wish Old Man would do more things like that with his grandchildren. What wonderful memories for Benjamin and lovely visuals to have in his head when reading a woodsy mystery novel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684720888428863058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4317458159222048512.post-72834973460576489022013-03-16T15:21:31.477+00:002013-03-16T15:21:31.477+00:00Seeing old ruins like Whitesprings always gets me ...Seeing old ruins like Whitesprings always gets me wondering who lived and worked there, what their daily lives were like. And why, ultimately, the place was abandoned. There are a few places I know in this area where ruins like this can be found.
