Random 5 Friday - Community House

(click on photo to enlarge)

"One of Buchanan’s best known pre Civil War Era structures is the Wilson Warehouse (Community House). Completed in 1839 for John S. Wilson as a combined store, warehouse and private residence the structure is still in use today. The John S. Wilson Company was the chief shipper and receiver of goods during “Canal Days” when Buchanan acted as the western terminus of the James River & Kanawha Canal." Continue Reading

Random time:

1) Last Friday I was preparing for Ashlyn's graduation, here's a couple of photos of that:
me and my girl

our family, with enormous Chris, Ash's boyfriend

2) Now I'm preparing for Christian's prom. Have to meet him and his date at Hollins University tomorrow afternoon for pictures and then I am working After Prom. It's going to be a LOOOOONNNGGG night tomorrow.

3) So sad about the fires out in San Diego. That's where I'm from. Nick's sister had to evacuate her home. I have friends that their children's schools are closed. I've heard it's arson. That is just disgusting.

4) Tonight I am making this for dinner....sounds yummy!

5) Last week I made this for dinner and it was a hit. Will definitely do again!

Have a great weekend!

  4. Love the photos of Ashyln's graduation. Now for Christian, and then you will only have two babies left in the house. Sorry too about San Diego. I have a long time friend who's daughter and grandchildren live in Carlsbad. She said it's so frightening there right now. Can not imagine.... so scary. Where are you working?
