We visited Ocean City, Maryland today, even drove up into Delaware, just so we could say we’d been there! But this sign stands on the sandbar side of the bridge. We did not drive the whole length of 50 this time, we joined up with it in Nevada, but we’ve been the rest of the [...]

Eddy got his boat out, first time this spring, so naturally we drifted down stream bird-watching for a bit! But he got things organized in a little while and we toured upstream as far as the tide would allow and then went out on the bay. We did not get to do any fishing because [...]

We went exploring this morning. Eddy took us to his favorite shark-tooth hunting beach.We also drove around and looked at the town. It’s a lovely day here on North Beach and smells like a hay field! The sun has been shining for two days now so everyone is getting out the lawn mowers! Things are [...]

We walked the docks today and looked at boats and Chesapeake bay scenery. Lots of condos lining the “shore” here. It’s a former summer place that has become year ’round and densely packed. Too densely for a couple of old country folk! But it’s interesting and very likely a good experience for us. But son [...]

We went up the Blue Ridge Parkway today. Gorgeous country! Lots of tunnels. It rained on us a little bit and he made me climb a mountain, which didn’t quite kill me. The view from up there was tremendous, tho. We’re somewhere around Asheville, NC tonight. I’m pooped. :blush:

Everyone has seen the long view of the Smokeys & the fall colors, so I’m posting a more intimate view. The roadsides were rich in trillium of several colors and many other wild flowers, too. Unfortunately not always where we could stop to photograph them. I am still convinced that the Hobbits would love this [...]

Here we are… Elise and me with Karen, at the bottom, and the two boys, goofing off on the front porch while Randy is digging the flower bed so Karen can plant the new hopeful tomato bushes.

Okay, it may not be lovely spring scenery but it was fun! Sister, daughter, & I went together and got pedicures, then went out to lunch before coming home to feed hungry-from-hiking males. Today the boys went to school and we’re going to leave Randy to entertain himself and we’re going to visit the LYS [...]

We’re enjoying our visit with Karen and the boys. Did some sight seeing yesterday and took a lot of pictures, of course, but the one I chose to post here is obviously not one of them. I glanced down at my yarn bag on the floor beside the couch and found it full of frantic [...]

We’re here in Flintstone, GA at daughter’s for the week, at last! The photo is along the road in Tennessee, taken though the windshield, which accounts for the lesser quality of it but it’s still beautiful. I don’t want to live in Tennessee but I count it as one of the prettier states I’ve been [...]
