Memorial Day

For family - This is Uncle Jay's grave at Sugar Grove Baptist Church in Benhams, Virginia. Jay was in World War II and in Korea.

You have to be kidding ...

Which File Extension are You?

Dolphin splash

John took us to see the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the dolphin show. I was good at getting photos of the splash that showed where the dolphins had been, but John was better at actually getting dolphins in his photos.

Crepe Myrtle Tree

On our way to visit with John we stopped by to see our friends Jackie and Tim at their Bed and Breakfast, Folly Castle in Petersburg. Folly Castle is a lovely place with a lot of history, including this tree, which is the third oldest crepe myrtle in Virginia.

steps

Carl and John on the steps of the George Washington Masonic temple in Alexandria. We had a great visit with John and Sarah, stopping on the way up to visit with Jackie and Tim at Folly Castle in Petersburg and stopping on the way back to visit a friend in Appomattox. More photos to come (including some made at the Baltimore Aquarium) on Flickr. I would stay and post more photos, but you know how it is... work, work, work...

Snow on April 24?

If you live in Virginia, you don't expect snow on April 24th.
What you expect on April 24th is aphids on your spring rosebuds.
Not snow all over your dogwood blossoms.
