Daddy time [tv time]

Early morning walk

Oh well, messed up. You get to see it twice.

Diaming the Subjects and Verbs of Compound Sentences...Pronouns Replace Nouns...Subjectives, Objective, Possessive Cases....Compound Pronouns...Demonstrative and Interrogative Pronouns...Subjects and Verbs Must Agree..Diagraming Pronoun Subjects...Diagraming Adjectives...Can Adverbs Really Modify Other Modifiers?...Irregular Adjectives..........OH DEAR! We've had enough. Did catchup in this alllll day. Now on a lighter note in creative writing.--The folks who live in Backward Town-Are inside out and upside down. They wear their hats inside their heads- And go to sleep beneath their beds. They only eat the apple pealing- And take their walks across the ceiling. Good Day! ....................Need another vacation.

Home again, home again, giggety jog! Miss Kitty was happy and so was the dog. Dog? Well it rhymed anyway.....The fish on the floor, jumped out of the water, so says my son, 'cause I don't have a daughter..... well, one of my own. So far so good....The leaves on the deck were knee deep and brown, they fell from the trees and covered the ground. Better stop while I'm ahead.....We be home now, vacations are always too short.

It's a Ford!

Wheeeeee! Look at me!

We just spent as hour watching it emerge from it's brown shell. He's off to camp tonight, hayride, bonfire and cold!

Mmmmm..smores.

More smores.

Sunday at the lake.

Just aswinging.

Morning fog at the lake.

Breakfast at the lake. [or lunch]

Shooting the breeze.

Must be a tall fish tail.

Check this out! Help from the head Honcho.We sure were glad for the extra hands.

Thought we'd never get it done, four nights of this. Bed at 1&2 o'clock. Lost track on how many times we sharpened our knives. Kept the gofer busy emptying cobs.

A pretty bow in Clarksville on Saturday.

Shucking corn under the elm tree.

Just left the corn patch.

Goooood and sweeeet!

Ooops. Lets just say the is another of the four days we did this.

I went from feeling like this ugly thing looks to dancing, [almost]

Hey Hey! Thanks for pulling for me. I finally feel good enough to crawl out from under the wood pile. Rough stuff. But I will say, " I didn't have to cook, do laundry and all that stuff." That was the ONLY good part. Couldn't even keep a sip of water down, lost a couple lbs., guess that was another good thing. .Every bone in my head hurt, even to lay it on a pillow. Now, what to do about those terrible, horrible, uncomfortable, chilling, miserable, bothersome, drenching night sweats. Ug! Good to be back in the land of the living. Thanks Ruth for keeping Tim.

Wish we had one this nice.

Good, simple, old time food, served on pewter [?] plates.

Before restoration and relocation.

Not sure of time period here.

Historic Michie Tavern- A famous tavern of the 1700's . A wealth of traditional charm clings to early American taverns. The very words create an atmosphere of candlelight, graciousness and hospitality. At historic Michie Tavern, ca. 1784, just below Jefferson's beloved Monticello [meaning Little Mountain] the pages of history are turned back more than 200 years where a striking portrayal of preRevolutionaary life may still be observed.

Michie tavern was established in 1784 by a Scotsman William Michie. The tavern served as the social center of it's community and accommodated travelers with food, drink, lodging and "good keeping of horses." This Virginia Historic Landmark was relocated to Monticello Mountain in 1927 and became a textbook example of the 1920's Preservation Movement. www.michietavern.com

We ate here on our way up the mountain to visit Monticello.

I guess the held the cannon balls, I don't know. We got to the Yorktown after datk and they were closed, for tours, that is.

Imagine the real thing after dark.

Walking back to the parking lot I saw this tree with a security light behind it.
