Monday Murals - Ready, Set, Go Healthy

14 West Main Street . Martinsville . 24112

Doesn't this mural make you wish for warmer days?! Although it has felt very much like spring here lately... I'm loving it!

Here's some info on the mural which I found at virginia.org

Update on Braden: he's doing well, very bored though! He's not in too much pain but I think the worst for him has been itching... tomorrow we go back and see his Dr and he's going to take the dressing off and see how he's healing!

Weekend In Black & White - Got Heart?

A Yellow Jacket nest seen at Lowe's in Bonsack.

Yellow Jackets build nests from wood fiber they chew up into a paper-like pulp....that's pretty amazing isn't it?!

Willy Nilly Friday 5/2020 #2

1)
Current situation... Braden tore his ACL during football. He is currently in surgery to have it repaired. This was him while checking in. I figured working on my Willy Nilly will help calm my nerves...it's not really working haha...the surgery will take about 2 hours.

2)
Ozzy checking out Tuesday's snow...he's not impressed.

3)
Along Fayette St in Martinsville... Fayette Street has a rich African American history.

4)

One last Christmas tree...Explore Park

5)

A painting (along with a reflection) of an Appalachian Trail hiker on the window at Troutville Post Office symbolizing the many hikers we see each year.

and Weekend Roundup "B" for Braden, building and backpack....can you find anymore B's?

Have a great weekend!

*Update on Braden*
We are home now and he's resting! Surgery was a success! We go back and see his Dr on Monday to see how he's doing. He has about an 8 month recovery ahead of him!

Martinsville Hotel

Martinsville Hotel . 20 Fayette St . Martinsville

I couldn't find much on this other than it was built ca 1930 and last used as a gym which is now closed.

The "HOTEL" sign caught my eye!

I haven't blogged in so long that I am only now finding out that Tom took this link party over!

Today I am thankful for a text from a great friend. We grew up together and although we live on separate coasts now she's still my bestie and hopefully coming out for a visit in the near future!

Tuesday's Treasures - The Little Post Office

207 Starling Ave . Martinsville . 24112


How cute is this little post office? It was built in 1893 and sits on the same property where the flying pig was that I showed you on Friday.
It wasn't open while we were there but you can rent it along with the grounds for weddings and parties!

Found this info on it at virginia.org

We got about an inch to 2 of snow this morning and school was cancelled! It has stopped snowing now but the winds have picked up...yuck!

Monday Murals - The Circus

New College Institute
30 Franklin Street . Martinsville . 24112

Loved this mural! Saw it driving by but didn't get a chance to get out so this is a drive by! Martinsville has a super neat historical downtown though so I must make it back!

I was just researching this mural and this is what I found! How interesting!

Found that HERE


Happy Monday! We might be getting a little snow tomorrow! Fingers crossed!
