Almost every time we’re in NC, Tommy and I take one day (or part of one) to go for a drive. Since we’ve traveled the same roads so many times in the past, we decided to try a different route last week. Here are a few pictures from that drive. And this is what we …

Stylin!
Here’s one of my favorite photos I found while scanning the old, old slides I received recently. My mother was a great seamstress and always had my sister and I dressed beautifully for special occasions. I believe this was an Easter dress and my sister had the same dress in a different (possibly pink?) color. …
I have no idea what this is…
but I love the colors! After I posted this and went outside to take some more pictures, Tommy found this in our Wildflowers of North Carolina book. It’s name is Hearts-a-Bustin. I can see that, can you? Here are a few other pictures I took while I was outside: Milkweed–there’s a bunch of this here …
Being Bombarded!
I went to sit on the deck today to read. Little did I know that I would get bombarded by hummingbirds. Evidently I was in their path from one feeder to another or to the safety of the trees. It is very amusing to watch them chase each other off of the feeders. I …
A Quick Trip to Asheville

The Ford Tri-Motor Tin Lizzie

Not all the flowers are gone…
but everything sure is looking tired. Must be time for fall and cool weather.
Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning

Making him laugh!
I have recently received some very old family slides which I am slowly going through and scanning. Many of these pictures I’ve never seen before and I’m enjoying them immensely. The quality of the pictures is not great as many of them are more than 50 years old. Here are a couple of my favorites …
Woo Hoo! Way to go Cowgirls!
By way of Facebook, we found out that the Wyoming Cowgirls’ soccer team was going to be playing Kennesaw State here in town. Since it looked like it was going to be a nice day and we thought the Cowgirls might appreciate a couple of fans, we went to see the game. As it turned …
