Saturday, Natalie and I drove up to Taneytown with Leslie and Carol for Chelsea's 1st birthday 
party. Chelsea is Natalie's grandniece, Melissa's daughter. The party was at Pam's house. It was fun, we had a good time. On the way back we stopped at Baugher's Restaurant to get some local apples. First we stopped at Baugher's Orchard but the place was packed. I think they were having a chili cook-off. There was a live band and all kinds of stuff going on but we couldn't find a place to park, so we left and stopped at the restaurant closer to Baltimore. It's a combination restaurant/produce stand. We bought a big pumpkin and a bunch of different kinds of apples - Red & Golden Delicious, Staymans, Empire, Jonagold, Liberty, Ida Red, Mutsu, an old-style kind of Golden Delicious and others. We got 10 pounds all together and they won't last a week. They were great.

Sunday there was free admission to the Baltimore Streetcar Museum, part of Free Fall Baltimore. I went by myself, Natalie wasn't interested and Tommy and Matthew are too cool for everything. I really liked it. I rode on two streetcars but missed riding the open car which looked really cool. Oddly enough, a lot of the them had destination signs that said Overlea and Gardenville. They must have known I was coming. The museum is on Falls Road, between Pennsylvania Station and Hampden and is right across the street from the Jones Falls. After I checked out the main museum building and rode the streetcars, I walked north
on Falls Road to one of the museums workshops, past a huge cable car pulley. Baltimore once had cable cars, so did a lot of cities, but only one city still has them - San Francisco. By the side of the workshop was a burned-out railroad car. I crossed the street and walked back to the museum on the Jones Falls Bike path. It was nice until I hit a stretch of water with a heavy smell of raw sewage. Ah, that's the Baltimore I know.
