This Week in Review

 Willy Nilly Friday

Last Saturday I drove to Herndon to shop and take mural pictures. The town is a mixture of old and new.

Black & White Weekend

I was tired on Sunday and the weather was rainy. Here's an really old picture I copied from a tintype that was in my grandfather's collection. I'm afraid I don't know who these young women are, but possibly Bower sisters or cousins. 

On Monday I had an appointment in Harrisonburg.  It was a return to the dermatologist for a follow-up treatment for sun-damaged spots that she said were pre-cancerous. 

On the way home I left the interstate at New Market to get gas and also drive down the Valley Pike for a little way to enjoy the view. I pulled off on Moreland Gap Road to take a picture. 

Skywatch Friday.

I stopped in Woodstock for some carry-out food. Here's the evening view from Cracker Barrel.

Weekend Reflection

On Tuesday, Frank's sister called my cell phone to say that our landline was not ringing. Poor dead phone! Frank spent hours on the phone over the next two days trying to get it fixed. Finally Xfinity got it to ring, at least. 

Wednesday was a beautiful day.  Skyline Drive had re-opened except for the southernmost section, which still had trees down and some icy sections. I drove to Luray on 340 and went up to the Drive. I forgot my Sony camera but took cell phone pictures. 

I couldn't believe my good fortune when a young lady stood in front of a view and posed for me. Well, actually she seemed oblivious of my camera as she saluted the late-day sun with her arms out-stretched. 

On Thursday we ran errands: took trash and recycling to the convenience center, dropped off a large bag of plastic packing bubbles at the postal business center for them to reuse, and returned two items to Walmart and Lowes. We also got carryout burgers at Spelunkers and did a little shopping in small stores.

Friday Bliss / Garden Affair  /  Floral Friday

This morning a technician from Xfinity came to check out our phone line and modem. He noted some wear at the connections outside and ordered some replacement parts. 

I ran a few errands this afternoon The grocery store has some oxalis, or shamrock plants. No doubt someone will buy them for St. Patrick's Day.

Do something lovely this weekend!
