I call him Lost


Yesterday, after work, I drove over to the shopping center across the street. Something brown and furry caught my eye. Not to mention BIG. I had to pull over to see what it was. There is a man made lake in the shopping center which Mallard ducks just love. Certainly not a place for what I was about to behold: A beaver!! This poor little animal was using his God given "saw teeth" to try and make his way through the iron fence. The sound was horrendous!! I had to stop and take a few pictures of him. He really was adorable and very friendly. He wasn' the least bit afraid of me, of course, I am not stupid enough to try and befriend him.

VIR




In first place


On Saturday, My Husband and I went to VIR to meet our son at the Go-Kart Track. VIR is located very close to the North Carolina State line. We actually left Virginia and crossed into  North Carolina  and crossed back over the Virginia State line to get to the racetrack. It was rather strange. My son and his friend stayed at the racetrack for 3 hours riding go-karts and that still wasn't long enough for them. They had a great time and the scenery around the racetrack was quite pretty. Lots of rolling hills. Here are a few pics.

My Very First Post




It is a beautiful day today --in the 50's. But still have snow on the ground from the big snowfall from December 18th. Here are a few pictures of the family out in the snow. It was really a beautiful first snow.
