Tuesday's Treasures - Wounded Warrior Project

Wounded Warrior Project

Over the summer we attended a Salem Red Sox game (our minor league team)...it happened to be military night (my husband is a former Marine) and I saw this van in the parking lot for the Wounded Warrior Project which is a great charity that we have given to. To learn more Click Here

Monday Murals - Busch Gardens

Click on photos to enlarge

Busch Gardens . Williamsburg

This is one of my favorite theme parks, after Disneyland! Having grown up and living most of my life near Disneyland needless to say we spent a lot of time there from school field trips to family and friends trips...now living on the East Coast I will admit that we haven't done the Disney World thing...Disney from my youth is my favorite Disney...Disney now is so over the top commercialized...ahhh but I'm supposed to be talking about Busch Gardens, sorry! Yes, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is probably my favorite theme park now...decorated in a European theme with cute little landscaped villages and super fun rides!

Recognize these 2?!

A beautiful sunrise we had at the beginning of the week...these pictures really belong side by side as that's the view from my back deck... linking with SkyWatch Friday

Lake Forest . Troutville

This little pond isn't too far from home...it belongs to the Lake Forest Subdivision...Dalton likes to fish here sometimes... yesterday I pulled over to see if it had flooded yet but it was still early in the day...was a little higher than normal...wonder what it is like today though...while looking I noticed something else...

Lowe's . Bonsack

While at Lowe's this week (I work there part time... I'm also still working part time at the high school but this is my last semester as the boys will be graduating!!) a regular came in with his beautiful Great Dane, Chinook... Chinook gets lots of attention when they come in but he also always has his 2 Boxers wait out in his vehicle...me and my friend went out to pet them! I see these guys everywhere actually and take their picture when I do! Linking with Eileen's Saturday's Critters

It has been a rainy night and we are under flood watches through tomorrow...we are expecting 5+ inches of rain...may need to build an arc!

This is a stretch of road I travel quite a bit...I love how the sunshine brightens little slices of the mountains this time of year!
