House Moving- It’s Almost Done!

Ryan and I went to Currituck this weekend.  We had another one of those 36 hour visits which are thoroughly exhausting.
We arrived Saturday at noon, just in time for Ryan to join my Dad and about 3000 other men for the Knotts Island Hunters Feast.  The Hunters Feast is an annual charity event that supports [...]

Remembering Pawpaw

Me and Ryan with my Grandparents at our wedding:

It has been two months since my Pawpaw’s funeral, as a reminder of him, I have posted the video we played at his funeral.
I think it is beautiful.

We will always miss you Pawpaw.

Gatlinburg Cabin Rental

This year on our visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee we stayed in a great cabin.
Year after year, we select a cabin that Mountain Rentals of Gatlinburg has available, staying in a different one for each visit, and have never been disappointed. . .
But this year we were amazed by the value we got for the price. [...]

Blizzard 2010: Shoveling the Roof

I prefaced this post with a photo of the day.
So, two weeks ago. . .

We had very little trouble with drifting snow at our house, but we have a [...]

Sassy’s New Friend.

We have told you before about our strange animals.
Sport, our strange dog, took Sassy (the cat) in, as if she were his baby, when she showed up at our house.
He carried her around like a puppy,  allowed her to paw him as if she were nursing, and to curl up next to him [...]

Fun in the Snow – Part I

Yesterday Bobby and Blake came over to play on the hill in our backyard.
I just realized I have never really mentioned Bobby here.
Bobby and Ryan grew up in the same neighborhood and are still good friends. In 2008, Bobby and his son, Blake, stayed with us for a couple of months while Bobby’s [...]

My Aunt Brenda “Lunky”  read a Eulogy that reminded everyone how great of a man,  Pawpaw, her Daddy, was.  She told a few [...]
