Greenfield, Botetourt Co.

I couldn't sleep last night. I know I must have slept a little because I woke up from a weird dream where I had donated a pair of my uncles boots to Goodwill, and they were good boots and I knew he would be mad. I was going to go get them back when he came home early...strange since I haven't seen or spoke to my uncle in YEARS..where do these dreams come from anyway....

I have to take Christian to the dentist this morning for a root canal. Poor guy. Hoping it goes smoothly for him!

Western Hotel
"A destination hotel through the early 1900's, it also served as the Federal Courthouse. The brick building was built after the great fire of 1870 which started in the hotel stable. The earlier hotel was a wooden structure." ...taken from Historic Fincastle ...linking with Signs, Signs

Sunday was a beautiful spring day so I took a walk through Godwin Cemetery in Fincastle. I noticed this old truck, with a fence in front! Linking with Signs, Signs

Buchanan....Nick ran into Burger King to grab some lunch for us. The boys and I sat in the car. I noticed this cute little old place.

Look at the lantern hanging by the front door for a porch light...I love that!

This is taken from Lowe Street...I'm standing near Twin River Outfitters when I took this and that dark colored house is The James River House...funny, I took this picture not knowing that Patty over at A New Day Dawns knows the owners! It really is a small world isn't it?!

I'm back! I took an improptu blogging break last week. We were on spring break and I had fun things planned to do with the boys. Well Braden ended up sick for the first half, nothing major, just a terrible sore throat and really no energy...then my computer monitor went black. I had read on something that Windows updates will go in and automatically change your monitor settings to make it sleep...I unplugged it for a while and when I turned it back on it worked, sketchily but enough that I could get into the settings and it was set to sleep after 20 minutes so following the advice I read I switched it to never. But now I'm afraid to turn it off! It has been on since Friday...computer gurus, is it ok to let your monitor just stay on and on and on?

Happy Monday!
