The trails @ Mill Mountain Star . Roanoke

A couple of weeks ago, you might remember, the boys and I went to the star as it was lit to honor the tragedy in Paris...we then took the trail down and I just had the best time with all 3 of my boys. Christian was tired from work and school and a social life but being the good sport he is said he'd tag along with us...I know these days are far and few between now but I really do cherish the memories that I will never forget....

The Candy Store . 122 Campbell Ave. Roanoke

My gosh, can you believe it, another theme day! I love this month's theme and this is a favorite shop window of mine everytime we go downtown because it is always changing! I've shown it to you HERE and HERE but I know I have even more pictures of the different window themes stored somewhere...

Winter Tree

Off my back deck one afternoon last week. I thought it looked like the limbs were holding the sun :)

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving...the long weekend flew by!

It's All In The Details

Walking under the bridge @ the Roanoke Star (Mill Mountain Star)...one thing I've noticed since moving here is that Roanoke just loves to have several different names for a thing, especially street names...anywho....

I was drawn to these little pretties...

Now in B&W...Kind of looks like a pretty little cake with frosting dripping down :) Or maybe I'm just hungry!

“Everything made by human hands looks terrible under magnification--crude, rough, and asymmetrical. But in nature every bit of life is lovely. And the more magnification we use, the more details are brought out, perfectly formed, like endless sets of boxes within boxes.”

This is the way the sky looked one morning this week as I was getting ready to head to school. Look at all those squiggly clouds!

Willy Nilly:

1) Sorry I didn't have this ready to go on time. Braden had a school assignment and was hogging my computer. By the time he was done, I was too sleepy!

2) Yesterday was so pretty...warm and 70...today is a brisk 54 and then dropping into the 40's over the weekend...yikes!

3) Thanksgiving is just around the corner...are you ready? I haven't shopped yet...better get busy!

4) Did you know the first Thanksgiving took place right here in Virginia? Read about it HERE

5) Berkeley Plantation

Well that's it for me this week....I hope you will play along! Post 5 randoms, link up and visit others! Have a great day!
