SUMMER 2010

Blueberries from Blueberry Farm

Alex and his girlfriend in VA Beach 7-10

The summer is almost over and it did go by fast. On one hand I am glad because my daughter is home from Nashville, but on the other hand, there is still so much I would like to do. My son and I did make it to the beach in July just for a day visit. Also, my sister and I did travel to Nashville to visit my daughter on July 17th through the 20th. It was a nine hour drive and my sister, Lynn, drove it straight. While in Nashville, we did sightseeing and we visited Franklin, TN. It was a beautiful, quaint town. We visited all the shops and ate ice cream at CiCi's, a frozen yogurt shop my daughter fell in love with. We had a really good time and Nashville is definitely a place I would want to visit again.  A nice city with a laid back feel. The city has really pulled together after the devastating flood that hit in May. Opryland wasn't open and several other places were still under repair due to the flood, but I have to hand it to the people of Nashville, they did a great job of getting their city back to normal. While their my daughter interned for the Mocha Club--she had the opportunity to make a video for Lady Antebellum's fan club party. She also had to opportunity to photograph some bands while in Nashville
My son, girlfriend and I went to VA beach for the day in July and in August we returned with my sister.

My garden did well this summer but not as well as summers past.  I did can some tomatoes and Salsa. I also went blueberry picking in Chesterfield. I froze the blueberries to make pancakes and muffins this winter.
