I just wanted to blog, and so I took some of the pictures that Kim had downloaded on my computer.

These are winter pictures at home and at Va. Beach. Also, there are

some that are in the summer, as you can tell.

I didn't have any pictures of my own, so here are some. The one of Todd and

Kim was when he had his promotion ceremony in Va. Beach.

Todd and Abbey's tongues were in the "Purple Cow" ice cream.

Like father, like daughter!

This is SNOW and it was on the ground about a week ago. It did look nice out there, with me in here! It wasn't too much, and then the weather turned warmer, and it all melted. It wasn't even the type of snow that you would be able to make a snowman, and not enough of it.

Misty does like the snow, but I guess there wasn't enough for her. She was at the back door, waiting to get in to get her treat.

The grandkids in Virginia would love some more snow. They really haven't had much at all this year. They would like to sled ride, and use their snowboards a few more times this winter. That might not happen, but we will have to wait and see. It is supposed to be in the 40's for the rest of the week. Today it is to be around 65, so I know it won't snow today.

Too bad that I am not sitting at my computer and remembering how to get the pictures of the SNOW onto the blogspot that I put on here this afternoon. Maybe because I have been sick, my memory went bad, and I just can't get the pictures that I want to print. I used the date that I put the pictures into the computer, which was today, and when that didn't work, I typed the letters and numbers that were under one of the pictures, but that didn't work, either. To bad I didn't try to blog when Kim was over here today. I will ask her sometime, so I will be able to blog the pictures of the possibly two to three inches of snow that fell last week. Nichole and Abbey had a 2-hour delay, then they called off school for the day. It looked like the roads were clear, but then we couldn't see the main roads, or the back, country roads.

Tomorrow is supposed to be 65 and then on Sunday, it is to get to 68, which is great. Except, the weather will go back down and be cold again, and some of us may get sick again, but I hope not.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

These are the last of the Christmas pictures! I will have to wait until I get some more pictures taken.

The pictures that we took at the local Bed and Breakfast turned out fine. I didn't get all of the copies on my camera, so I can't put those pictures on here, unless Kim shows me how to move the pictures from Paula's camera to my blog.

Today is January 20, and the new President of the United States just

took office. We shall see what comes of that. We all hope that he has a great

tenure of office.

THE BIG TRAIN SHOW

This was the big train show we went to see over the Christmas vacation. The hardware store sets up the trains where the mowers and tractor displays are during the Spring and Summer.

It is such a big display that it usually takes an hour to go around and see everything that is there. I didn't get a picture of everything. That would have taken a long time, and it would have been a bigger blog than this one is. It is amazing for the young as well as for "the young at heart". This was the second time we had seen it, and since they arrange it differently every year, it is really great.

The Fulton's came the day after Christmas

This is the day after Christmas.

We opened presents when Paula, Chris and the boys got here, as well as Todd and family.

Everyone had a great time opening gifts, then we decided to eat supper.

That will be my next blog.
