Yes, they're both beautiful, and so are their baked goods. |

The old Kneebone gas station of the 20's, 30's and 40's has now been fully "conserved" (restored to its original condition). |

|
Phyllis, a real-life Kneebone descendant, horses around with her grandfather Alfred Kneebone, played by Howard Voshell. |
