They Won!

Dogwood Parade

We were in the parade yesterday. We were in it for my friend who is running for sheriff.. It was 96 degrees.............and being in parades means you stand around a lot and then you walk and wave.........I hope to not ever be in a parade again. Phil treated everybody to Bodo's bagels afterward though.............J. was happy.

River House

I think this is the house we are going to build at the river............getting excited!

Trail Puppy

I'm hoping all this trail walking is giving us both good exercise!!! 2 people in this family already have poison ivy though.....

Easter

Easter dinner.................J decorated the table.

Breakfast at Cracker Barrel after sunrise on the Mountain

Easter egg dying.


Easter egg hunt at the high school.

Whittlin"

I found T. out back this weekend with his Great Grandfather's old knife whittling................on one of the cedar sticks he brought home YEARS ago. It made me very sad, but he has many good memories learning to whittle..

Nothing!!

We are back from Va. Beach............it was cold and rainy.............but we had a great stop in Richmond yesterday...........(see Tulsa, but prettier, so I feel at home there more than any other city in VA) and got some great Wine at Trader Joe's. Today is going to be a full day of doing nothing.............I say that, but I need to hit the grocery store and T. asked me to go to a yoga class with him......which I am thrilled to do.........because he never asks.........or for that matter has much to do with me other than ask for money................so I am happy.....

Recipe

On our hike this morning..........Chris and I decided we would grill. I had boneless chicken so we invented a recipe..... I am telling you about it because it smells heavenly!!!!!! I pounded the chicken with my kitchen mallet and then salt and peppered it and then....put prosciutto, jarlsberg cheese (shredded) with basil and garlic on it and rolled it up............can't wait to grill it.. the breeze is blowing through the pines and my windchimes are singing...........I had a slight panic about things coming up that I need to attend to and decided I would thing about it after we get back from VA Beach on Wed.......I'll still have 4 days left!!! Am having a glass of red wine and it's 3:30, but I'm on vacation..........oh! Also made a pasta salad for dinner..........very springy, don't you think?

ok, I'm hooked!

Day One.....

......of vacation. Up early in my sweats, wading boots and baseball cap and off for coffee and donuts down in "hogwaller". Back home to drop off donuts and get husband and dog to traipse off to the downtown mall for the 1st day of the Farmer's Market to reopen......bought plants...cilantro, dill, lettuce and basil............an early girl tomato plant and organic farm eggs.....we saw about 100 neighbors and cheered on the Charlottesville 10 miler runners and then back home to hike the trail and the creek with the dog.................sunny day here, finally!!! No plans for the rest of the day yet! am so glad...
