Now earlier in the summer you saw us sitting on this butterfly at the museum in Durham. Well Beepa and I found them to buy for a paltry $2,000.00.

I had that money in my other pair of pants (Hee Hee)

Beepa hit this rock with her car and broke it.

"Split Rock"Now this is tricky but I had a .......
Pic's of the blue ridge mountains


Funny Story: One of the things I miss most about NH was the ability to Drive an hour to the ocean, Drive an hour to the mountains, Drive an hour to the lake, drive an hour to the city of Boston.

So after hearing about Grandfather Mountain and buying a Garmin, Beepa and I said" lets drive over and see this beautiful natural site on our own." Well three hours later we arrived. Yes it was beautiful but hurricane force winds kept us off the top. Oh and time constraints kept us on the go to turn around and head home. Because we thought it was an hour away and we left the dogs home.
It was a quick visit and definitely worth going back another day (and stay over night).


So here is Grandfather Mountain. Trick or Treat or as they do in the south Trunk or Treat.Now to explain here in the south they park their cars at the churches. Open their trunks , decorate them and then trick or treat from the car trunk!( Different and they say"safer")

Sad Day !I miss NH's good old fashion night of scarring!
We'll just keep a photo journal on the changing season.
Our house is tucked into the oaks. This is our huge front lawn.
Nice place to have a party!

Well on a sad note, we lost our best friend of 13 years. Our cocker spaniel "Toby" had to be put to sleep this week. He was very sick and hung in there for the move south. He loved the "don't need a leash" code we started to live by. But he got sick again and it was time to let him go. We miss him so much but we didn't want him suffering anymore. Just thought you all might want to know about it.

I still miss Toby...
I Love that picture of Macy!!

And I still don't agree with "trunk or treat" you could still throw a kid in your trunk and drive away...it's not that much safer! I still think trick or treating is the most fun!
