Day Two Hundred Seventy Three 2010

Riding The Rails

Grand kids Elijah and Shelby checked out a vintage piece of L&N railroad history at the depot this afternoon.

I think they were impressed by its size. Pretty cool. Did people who had to travel long distances this way think it was fun way back then? I'm sure these two would have been asking, Are we there yet?

Day Two Hundred Seventy Two 2010

Autumn Sky In Solaris

Sky of blue, trees of green. Today was Autumn Day perfection. The Maple tree in my backyard is starting to turn. Days like these go by way too fast. Grab them while you can get them!

Day Two Hundred Seventy One 2010

The Power Of One

This purple Morning Glory was the only thing blooming in a sea of weeds on our hill side this afternoon. Just one. Probably why it caught my eye.

Day Two Hundred Seventy 2010

Good Stuff!

Daughter Kelly came in for the weekend and stayed over last night. This morning, she treated me to a Starbucks salted caramel hot chocolate. I'm not into coffee, but I could drink hot chocolate all day, especially this decadent treat. (We got a tall, which is small in Starbucks speak--just the right size.) Try it! You'll love it.

Day Two Hundred Sixty Nine 2010


My sweet niece Julia Foy celebrated her 13th birthday this afternoon (one week early, but who's counting--besides, she gets to spend her real birthday at the beach!). We enjoyed a most delicious cake, ice cream and punch, and Julia enjoyed opening her gifts--what we in this family call "flat presents" which means lots of moolah! And here she is, way back in 2000 when she was 3, and now, a whole decade later, a teenager (well, almost) who finally gets to have her own Facebook account. Still the same sweet, funny, smart, talented person she's always been and of course one of my favorite people in the universe. I love you always and forever, Julia! You rock! I know I'm going to "like" you on FB!
