Happy Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.We are heading out in about an hour.We were going to leave in the morning but due to the snowy forecast we thought it would be best to leave this evening.We will travel a few hours then stop and spend the night.We will be out of the range of the snow two hours away.

We are heading to Virginia Beach Virginia.The picture I posted yesterday was The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.It is 17 miles long.My grandson is really looking forward to travelling on it.We will drive over it to the Delmarva peninsula on Friday.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.We will be returning on Sunday.Hope the traffic isn't too terribly bad that day.

Do You Know Where This Is Located?

We are going to the area where this located.It will be our Thanksgiving get away.Grandson Jeremy is looking forward to traveling on this.He read all about it in one of his books and is really fascinated with it.Will answer where this is located tomorrow.

I Was Tagged

I was tagged by Susan.I was to go to my 6th folder of pictures then post the 6th picture in that folder.

This picture was taken in April of 2007.It shows snow in our backyard.I really didn't think that it would be another snow picture but it is,lol.Do you see a theme here?

I won't tag anyone else but wanted to participate by posting a picture.

Another Snowy Day

It is another snowy day here in the mountains of southern West Virginia.I took this picture a few hours ago.I was standing on our back deck when I took the picture.I love taking pictures of snow.I measured 5 inches of snow just before taking the picture.It has snowed off and on all morning.Once again schools are closed.

The snow started yesterday evening.We have been having a problem with low water pressure the last week or so.Last night I decided to color my hair not even thinking about the low water pressure.It took forever to rinse the coloring out of my hair.About 15 minutes later I came out into our living room and heard some noise coming from down the street.I looked out and saw all kinds of yellow lights flashing on trucks.It was hard to tell since it was dark and also snowing but I figured that it must be the water company working on the water main.I checked and we didn't have any water.Good thing I rinsed my hair when I did.They worked for about two hours in darkness,snow,cold and wind replacing the water main.

I am so happy to have great water pressure once again!

A Snowy Day

We are experiencing our first major snow of the season.The snow started yesterday evening and continued on through this morning.The sun has come in and out during the day along with some intermittent snow showers.We have about 5 inches of snow now.

I took this picture this morning from our back deck.Schools in our area are closed due to the snowy weather.We are in the mountains which means that the roads can be quite treacherous in snowy weather.Thanks to the sun coming in and out we haven't had to do any shoveling.The snow has melted off of our driveway.It has been a cold day in the upper 20's.We are staying home today.Tonight it is going down to 15...brrrrrrrrrrr.

Boys and Trains

Our grandson Jeremy loves trains.The fascination with trains started when he was around 2.He loves Thomas and all of the trains and stories that go along with Thomas The Tank Engine.We have the play room cleared out so that he can set up his train tracks and play with his Thomas trains.

A week ago the annual model train show was held in our town.This was our third year to take Jeremy to the model train show.The picture was taken at the train show.We stayed there a few hours going around and around at the different train layouts.

One That Didn't Get Away

This is my granddaughter's smile that didn't get away.Whenever she sees me with my camera she either turns or hides her face with her hands.That makes it so hard for me to take a picture of her.I really believe it is a game for her.Hopefully she will soon out grow that game and enjoy having her Nana take lots and lots of pictures of her wonderful smile.

This picture was taken on her 4th birthday two weeks ago.She was getting ready to open her gifts.It seems like she was only born yesterday.These 4 years have flown by!

I believe the Wendy's cup was taken from our daughter.Our granddaughter usually has milk or if we are buying her a drink we get her diet soda as a special treat since she doesn't get it at home.
