Signs, Signs & A Good Fence - Rewind Blacksburg

click on photos to enlarge

I'm going back to Blacksburg's Steppin' Out Fest from ealier in the summer for some signs and fencing...This place India Garden had a tent set up and Nick has been on a curry kick so we decided to split a plate here for lunch. I can't remember what all was on here but it was all delicious and there wasn't a crumb left.
The boys however noticed Benny's (one of their favorite places) so we popped in and ordered 2 slices for them to go and while we were waiting we chatted with this table of friendly patrons:

Look at the size of that pie will ya?!
Our order is up so we take it outside:

2 slices...it's practically a whole pizza!

Braden has a smiley crust face...I think Dalton is yelling at me...probably something like "Stop taking pictures of us"...yeah, probably that ;)
For more signs, visit Signs, Signs

And now for a "Good Fence"...

These friendly faces were caught hanging out at the Canine Corral brought to you by Prestige Pet Sitting ...check them out if you live around here! They LOVE animals!

On Saturday afternoon we went and watched the Higland Games at Green Hill Park in Salem. Fun! This dude is doing the "hammer throw"...the tough guy posing with the boys was super informative about the games, history, etc... Lots of "movement" which just happens to be the theme for us City Daily Photo participants this month! For more moving photos, visit City Daily Photo

Rubbish Tuesday - Morning @ Happy's

Happy's is an old indoor flea market located in Roanoke...On a chilly March morning we went out to breakfast then stopped at Happy's for the very first time, come along!

I'm diggin' that old skool tile floor!

Remember trying to win radio contests with these old dial phones? Yeah, good luck with that!

I didn't have a 7-Up bike but I did have a bike similar to this with the old banana seat and sissy bar!

In the market for a squirrel (I think) pelt?

Your Halloween one stop shop!

Ah, but honestly, Happy's is pretty interesting and I guess there's something there for everyone. I personally buy the bulk incense they sell and not because I smoke pot which my mom always thought that people who burn incense only do it to cover up the pot smell lol...I just happen to love incense...and then...this happened...

We bought a drumset...Linking up with Rubbish Tuesday if you would like more info on Happy's, visit their website RIGHT HERE!

Gotta Dance

I was cleaning out my photo files and wanted to show you these from last month's Steppin' Out Fest in Blacksburg. This cute man was having a great time!


“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

SkyWatch Friday & Willy Nilly Friday 5 Number 13

The boys had a football game on Monday in Salem at Spartan Field. It was a terrible game. We lost 35-0. If you live local you will already know why we lost, "it was Salem". Well at least we were blessed by THIS sky at the end of the game! Linking with SkyWatch Friday

I was reading some useless facts and thought they were pretty interesting so I'm gonna make them my Willy-Nilly post:

1) Johnny Appleseed planted apples so that people could use apple cider to make alcohol. (and here all this time I just thought he was a do-gooder, turns out he was just a lush!)

2) The most powerful earthquake to strike the United States occurred in 1811 in New Madrid, Missouri. The quake shook more than one million square miles, and was felt as far as 1,000 miles away. (I actually learned about this when we lived in Missouri. Pretty wild!)

3) The Bible, the world’s best-selling book, is also the world’s most shoplifted book. (well that's ironic)

4) What is called a “French kiss” in the English speaking world is known as an “English kiss” in France. (ok Frenchies, is this true?!)

5) In Baltimore USA it is illegal to wash or scrub a sink regardless of how dirty it is. (and now I don't think I will be eating out in Baltimore! ewww)

Ok, now it's your turn! Post 5 random things about ANYTHING and come back here and link up. Visit other Willy-Nilly'ers and have fun!



Have a wonderful weekend :)
