:usaflag: A Pair of Jacks!!!

[Cupajo]

When I passed the old Congregational Church on Lyme Street today I spotted these two young steeple jacks hard at work getting the last coat of paint on before the forcasted T-storms later.

This is a rare enough sight that I thought you all might find the pics interesting.

The church was origionally built by ships carpenters and many years later it burned down.

The Old Lyme community re-built the church as it stands today and it is still a very special social/religious entity here with many activities including a food pantry and blood drives and for two days, beginning Friday the 9th, the yearly "White Elephant" sale where amazing things are up for grabs at bargain prices!!
