1) Last Friday Nick and I went to Buchanan for the start of their Civil War weekend...I thought this car parked in front of the old theater looked timely...although I don't know if the age of the car is before the theater but to me they went together ;) I've shown you more pictures over the years that we've seen the Battle of Buchanan HERE
2) A West Virginia bear hanging out in a Roanoke, Virginia front yard...this person likes bears :)


3) A Buchanan Kitty Cat



4) These 2, Christian (my son) and his girlfriend Madeline have been together 1 year today...right now they are out celebrating their anniversary with dinner at Billy's

5) As I get this post ready to roll it is Thursday evening. Dalton hurt his back over the weekend at a track meet doing the long jump. I took him to the chiropractor today and it was jammed up pretty good the dr. said so he adjusted it and Dalton is feeling much better...Ashlyn left this morning to go to Harrisonburg to see her best friend graduate from JMU (Ashlyn's alma mater) then they are heading to Hilton Head for a girl's week at the beach!

That's my 5 this week and if you joined in last week and/or this week I want to thank you! I also want to thank you for the visits and comments when my own visits and comments have been slim! I really do appreciate you and thank you for playing along! If you are new, it's easy, post 5 randoms, link back and visit others as time permits! Thanks again and have a wonderful weekend friends!

Through My Lens - Christmas in Buchanan

Let's take a stroll down Main Street:

I love this little shop and especially at Christmas time...I've shown you this little place before Right Here

Buchanan's Christmas Tree...Each year they have a tree lighting ceremony...I've always wanted to go, it sounds so old-timey, small town but we've just not made it a priority...maybe next year! You can read about the tree lighting HERE

When Ashlyn isn't away at school, you can find her here in Buchanan...her 2nd home...her boyfriend lives here. On this day Ashlyn and her puppy Riley came to meet us since the weather was so warm. We picked up some hamburgers and ate dinner outside :)

If you read my blog regularly you might remember this is one of my most favorite little theaters in the whole-wide-world! I've shown it to you a couple of times HERE & HERE

This is Ransone's...I've shown you this place before as well Right Here ...I have an email friend, Will, whose family originally owned this back in the day. I enjoy his emails telling me of the history of his family and Buchanan...Hi Will if you are reading this!

These photos were all taken on Sunday after Christmas. It was such a pretty and warm day, in the upper 70's. So unlike the other winters we have had here. But today winter has shown up. It won't get out of the 30's and tonight dips down into the teens. Yikes! No snow in the forecast yet though...we are waiting!
