Ramblings of a Silver Haired Lady
On our drive from Fredericksburg to Baltimore we took a side road and found a wonderfully picturesque church and cemetery. St. Ignatius Catholic Church Although you can’t see much of it, that’s the Potomac River beyond the cemetery. A very nice woman who had come to church to attend mass gave us a quick tour …

Here we are ready to hit the road! On our way, we saw the giant peach in Gaffney, South Carolina. We stayed our first night at the Hampton Inn in Fredericksburg, Virginia. It was a very nice hotel. Thank goodness these two could drive the car better than they could drive this luggage cart!
Not to be outdone by Penny the Cat, Bubba was protecting his family from a bug flying around in the kitchen. Unfortunately for Bubba’s family, he is not quite as quick as Penny the Cat (note the beagle nose is at the floor–note the bug is about a foot higher than his head.)
Not much has been happening around here lately. Bubba and I went down to the park at the Chattahoochee River the other day so I could take some pictures. This fella was very interested in us and not at all afraid. Bubba, on the other hand, didn’t much like it when the goose walked toward …
Hall has a new job and has moved to Greenville. Tommy and I drove to Greenville yesterday and dropped off some things at the new apartment. Then Tommy and Bubba drove up to Balsam Grove. Hall and I went to WalMart to get some things he needed and then followed the boys to Balsam Grove. …
Bubba spent two weeks with his favorite cousins George and Gracie. His Aunt Anne and Uncle Cleg took him on boat rides and put him in his very own life preserver. He had so much fun going on walks with Uncle Cleg and George and playing with George and Gracie that he collapsed at night. …
We got up and got on the road. Breakfast was at McDonald’s (they have pretty good biscuits). Nothing exciting nor interesting on the drive home. South of Nashville we got into some rain and there were stormy skies from there into Chattanooga. We finally arrived home about 6:30 p.m. after driving over 3900 miles. We …
Happy Anniversary Amanda & Evan!! We left Amanda’s and Evan’s house about 6:20 a.m. to head home. It was sad to leave them, but I’m not sure any of us could have stood much more fun! We stopped at McDonald’s to get breakfast and head on down the road. This is the not-fun part of …
We had such a good time at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo last year that we bought tickets in January for this year’s rodeo. We decided to go on the Finals day this year. Before we got into the arena to see the rodeo, we had to bust these 2 out of jail. You just …
Hooray for Evan! He finished 4th in his age group and 28th overall (from 350 participants)! He finished in 6 hours and 23 seconds–beating his previous record by about 30 minutes. He looks pretty happy, doesn’t he? And, don’t you love his hair? Rumor has it that his Pit Crew will be wearing special t-shirts …
