Here we are leaving for our big city trip from our little old Culpeper train station.
And here were are in the New York subway 6 hours later.

We think we have found a job for Sarah
Time Square.

Looking out at Manhatten from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building.

NYC TRIP

Statue of Liberty Spiral Stairs. This is only showing one of the three tiers. And they were very narrow and very steep.

1999 old memeries

1998 Old photos and old memories

The kids must have been very good that Christmas.

How many dinners have he had in our little home?

It most be Easter.

Not all are stuffed animals.

Keran holding her Cannon primer as proff that she has just shot a 155 MM Howitzer.

Patsy and I have been scanning our old photos and the memories that come form the pictures are priceless.

This on is of Scott in 1198 with our little bumb lame that spent the spring and most of the summer at our home.

We were lucky enough to be in the biggest Virginia snow storm in over 20 years.

A look at our snowy back yard with our hungry little birds at the bird feeder.A winter sun set.

We haven't had mail for a while.

It snowed for two days straight.

We had to start shoveling before we got out of our house.

Hiking in the Blue Ridge mountains on a beautiful river trail.

Rose River Falls


Taking a break


The fawn was trying to be so still so we wouldn't see it. Really cute.


We came around a corner on the trail and there was a MAMA BEAR and two cubs!!



After they crossed mama sent the cubs up a tree.

She was a little scary but the cubs were sure cute!!
Hope you like the videos!

We really enjoyed Sarah and Scott's visit in June, it was so great having them here!
We wish we could have everyone come see us!

This is up in the mountains over looking the Shenandoah valley.

Ice Cream Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's

Home made Ice cream on a warm day...nothing better.

I think more got on the kids than in them.
Indy got her fill too...and a bath.

Oh my how'd we get here, I guess I have Georgia on our mind. Since we're so close maybe we could go by Atlanta...

New Orleans - French Quarter What does this remind you of? :)

The back of his apartment, it's fenced too! I think they put the missionaries in gated apartments to protect them from sneaky parents like us.

Hey - we didn't know Scott lived in a gated community!
