Back in April we went to Buchanan's Civil War reenactment, The Battle of Buchanan's Main Street Skirmish...
1)
Something is getting started....

2)
I think I've been spotted...

3)
Bang, bang, bang....hey I like the way the Buchanan Theatre sign is lit up!

4)
Darn, they caught Nick!

5)
He looks like a friendly guy!

We've been to a few more of the reenactments in Buchanan over the years and I've shown you HERE

That's the Masonic Theatre over there. It was built in 1905 and still going strong...for more info on the Theatre CLICK HERE

Today I am thankful that my sweet Ozzy is feeling better! Last week he tore a pad right off his front paw. I noticed him limping and not using that paw and when I took a closer look the pad was just hanging there....looked so painful. I cleaned it up and bandaged it, kept that up for a few days and he is back to his old self...thank goodness!

Black Dog Salvage

Black Dog Salvage . 902 13th Street SW . Roanoke . 24016

Do any of you watch the Black Dog Salvage show? I do occasionally. I find it interesting to learn the history about the places they go to and then it's fun to see some of the things from the show back in the shop for sale! Admittedly I haven't watched in a while though but I think it is on Netflix. I've shown you Black Dog Salvage a few years back Right Here ...look how little my boys are in that photo! In the above photos we just happened to be driving by a couple of weeks ago but didn't stop...I do need to make a point to go poke around again soon!

Mick-or-Mack

1312 Winbourne Street SW . Roanoke . 24016

I think this particular Mick-or-Mack was built in 1953 and is the only one left in the area. I found THIS interesting little story about Roanoke in 1931 with mentions of Mick-or-Mack.

Anon Muralist Hits Grandin

Reid's Furnishings . 1324 Grandin Road . Roanoke . 24015

Apparently this artist and the village of Grandin wants this artist's work to be kept on the down-low...I have combed through Google and can't find a thing...I showed you a similar mural HERE a few years ago and couldn't find out anything then either...oh well...whatever!

Have a happy Monday!

1)
This little room is in The Homestead and it is where they used to have telephones back when that was a thing! Now all the phone plugs are plugged up but here Nick is posing on his cell...I guess they could turn it into a charging station!

2) The boys had their last baseball game tonight...kind of glad that's over. They both ended on a good note!

3) I've watched the whole series of Grace and Frankie on Netflix...I think there were 3 seasons...with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. I really liked it...it's really funny.

4) I also just finished watching Anne With An E on Netflix...I really liked that as well. It is only 1 season so far.

5) Trying to make some small summer plans. Since Nick changed careers he can't take time off really so we have a few things not too far that sound like fun to do...I think "staycations" are fun too!

That's my 5 this week and I hope you haven't forgotten about me since I've been gone so long! Post 5 randoms, link back and visit others! Have a great weekend :)

City Daily Photo Theme Day - Nature

click on photos to enlarge
These were taken from our stay at The Homestead earlier in the month. Since I've barely shown you around I figured today's theme of "Nature" was a good excuse to show you around the grounds of the hotel...and I am sorry, I grouped a few so I could give you a tour ;) ...Now let's go!
Here's another neat old car pulling up for you auto enthusiasts...I've shown a couple in the past week or so...there was a Bentley convention going on at the same time we were there...
We didn't use the pool as it was a pretty cool weekend while we were there...looks inviting though doesn't it?
Golf is pretty huge at The Homestead and this little mini golf course gets them learning early I guess ;)
I love this hall...we used it a few times to access the little downtown of Hot Springs ...
I think this would be fun to do! I would like to try it out when we come back with the boys one day!

So that's my Theme Day post featuring "nature" and for more interpretations on the theme, visit City Daily Photo

And since it is Thursday I am thankful for summer time schedules...ahhhh, my favorite time of year! Linking up with Michelle's Thankful Thursday

Have a great day :)
