Random 5 Friday - Battle of Buchanan IV

(click on photo to enlarge)

Another blending of old and new.

Now randoms:

1) Tonight my oldest, Ashlyn, graduates from Virginia Western, our little community college with her Associate Degree. Those 2 years flew by. Click Here to see my post about her graduation from high school. After the ceremony we're taking her to Ichiban. Her favorite. An identical night as her high school grad night. Then she'll be heading to JMU in the fall. Sigh....

2) We bought Christian (well went halfsies with him) a new car yesterday. It's a white Buick Regal. Used of course, but new to him. He loves it. I hope he gets a lot of safe, happy driving in it!

3) The boys have a doubleheader in the morning then I think we're going to the grand opening of Explore Park. You can read about it HERE. I love that place and happy to see them get it going again. I've done a few posts there over the years HERE

4) 23 days of school left!

5) And a little video of the dance at the reenactment (sorry for the poor quality, I suck!)


Have a super weekend!!

  4. Hey Tanya, congratulations to Ashlyn on graduating and lucky Christian to have his first new/old car , if the driving laws are anything like ours it will be quite a while before he goes solo :) Enjoy your visit to Explore Park, sounds like a lot of fun!

  5. Congratulations to Ashlyn and my sister-in-law, her husband and their son went to JMU and have very happy memories there. It's a wonderful area too. Also congratulations to Christian, and I wish him many happy hours driving his new car. Enjoyed the photos and video, and thanks for all the links. I shall enjoy checking those out.

  8. My daughter is thinking about going to Va Western and my wife and I graduated from JMU but the world was sure different back then, glad I don't have to go to school again, they would throw me out of the place.

  14. My son is finishing up his second year at college too! & yes it did fly right by. I was warned college goes by quicker than high school.
    & I used to have a Buick - I miss it & always felt safe driving it too.
    Nice shot of the reenactment Tanya.
