Sunday Drive - Buchanan Home

(click on photo to enlarge)

Cruising along on Sunday's drive. This is the way my daughter Ashlyn gets to her boyfriend's house, also known as her second home. I didn't know of this backway and she was correct, it's my kind of road! I could live here, if only my kids wouldn't complain about changing schools ;)

Also, if you are interested in this sort of thing, want to share a little genealogy with you! My husband's ancestor, Daniel Cloud fought at The Alamo. A friend of mine was just there over the weekend and brought a pamphlet home to me with a quote from Daniel Cloud! You can see it HERE on my genealogy blog! How exciting!

Blue Monday - Decking The Halls In Fincastle

(click on photo to enlarge)

Waiting on the heavy rain that was heading our way Sunday, we decided to take a little Sunday drive before the weather turned. The sky looked intimidating but the weather was warm and we never saw a rain drop! Here we are passing through Fincastle and I noticed they are getting the town all Christmas'ed up! I love Fincastle during the Christmas season. I've shown you a photo HERE of the town all lit up at night...and that building there is the old jail, which I've shown you HERE...and looking back over the years, here's some shots of the Fincastle Christmas Parade: HERE...HERE...HERE...HERE...HERE...and HERE!

This is my first time to participate in the Blue Monday linky. I'm such a joiner! So if you want to see more stuff with blue, visit Blue Monday!

And last but not least...sending my thoughts and prayers to those affected by the tornadoes that hit on Sunday afternoon....

Random 5 Friday from Staunton

(click on photo to enlarge)

Looking at the town of Staunton from above the train station.

1) Staunton is one of my favorite towns. Love all that old architecture.

2) I can't stand when people brag. I wonder what is wrong with them that makes them need to do it.

3) Christian needed a new pair of shoes. Checked him out of school a little early yesterday so we could hit the mall. I love spending some one on one time with my kids. We had a good time. Laughed a lot.

4) Talk about laughing, watched The Heat last night. Melissa McCarthy is probably one of the funniest people ever. I just love her.

5) My yard has become the gathering place for every loose dog in the neighborhood. Don't know what's going on. Seems like everytime I take Ozzy out, there's another dog in the yard.

Have a super weekend!

Signs, Signs - Zombie Outbreak Response Vehicle

Saw this little doozy a couple months back travelling down I81 south, Botetourt County. Maryland plates. Don't worry, I was taking photos as the passenger. My husband diligently caught up to and then passed so I could get a couple of pics!

So I was googling this vehicle wondering "what the heck?" and wow, lots and lots of Zombie Response Team stuff comes up...now I'm wondering "should I be worried?".....as I type this post, my boys are watching The Walking Dead lol

Wendy's in Daleville

Picked up Christian from school yesterday and he had to work right afterwards. I took him through the drive-thru at Wendy's so he could get something quick to eat and saw this little guy ordering in front of us ;)
