This day in history

Forty-seven years ago today, I vividly remember my elementary school principal coming into the classroom and whisper into Mrs. Starr's ear. After he left, she sat quietly crying at her desk. Do you remember where you were on November 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated?

Still blooming

Today is November 21 and this spring plant is still hanging on ... even after several mornings of frost

First Thanksgiving

A little piece of history we stumbled on at Berkeley Plantation this summer. The site is near the James River.

Where have all the flowers gone?

You won't find much blooming in my yard now that it's mid-November and I'm not happy about that! Can't wait for spring.

VP residence

This picture, taken from the top of Washington National Cathedral, shows the vice president's residence (the white house in the center). Guess I'll never get closer than this to that house.

Light as a feather

From ground level

The countdown begins

The tree arriving at Rockefeller Center this morning brought back great memories of our trip to New York last December. The sole purpose of the trip was to see the tree in all its glory and I was not disappointed. If you ever get the chance to go during the holidays, don't pass it up!

Still rings true this Veterans Day

Taps ... a little history

From the rain forest

Baby Reagan

I was going through old pictures and came across these of Reagan. I've posted several of a grown up Reagan so thought I'd share these of baby Reagan.
