Vacation 2011



Well, here we are almost at the end of our visit to Virginia.  It has been a relaxing time - not doing much.  The days have been beautiful weather-wise.  Actually, the A/C has been off most of the time (except in the bedroom) and the breezes and humidity have been comfortable.  We have been to church for services and rehearsals.  The two Fridays we have spent the mornings "yard-saling," a ritual that is sacred in this area.  Between the 3 cats, 3 dogs, 2 chinchillas (?), and 7 chickens there is plenty to do to feed, water, take out, etc.  We have fresh eggs and much food.  Our male rat terrier, Deuce, has latched on to their female pug, Snickers - literally.  Thankfully, he is unable to father pups, cause I believe she's coming into heat.  A cold shower finally took care of the "problem!"  I did have time to make a couple of aprons, as I promised, for our Holiday Bazaar, coming up in December.  Laura has a wonderful sewing room she is setting up.  And the view out the window is spectacular.  We are off today to New Market for a 40-mile long Yard Crawl.  Oh, joy!  I might make it 40 yards worth.  Have a great day!
