Disappointed
We drove over to Lancaster in search of their almost 200 year old courthouse ~ which by the way was the last location a witch trial was held in the United States ~ but it had massive construction going on all around it, and on the building itself. It had been damaged by a fire not so long ago and repair work was well under way as well as the construction of another very large building right next door. I didn’t even stop to take a photo because it would have been disappointing ~ so I’m sharing a photo from our hike at Landsford Canal State Park with you today. This is a…

Scenes From Our Hike
Today we went shopping and out to eat in Charlotte, North Carolina. It has been a long day so I’m going to feature a couple of photos from our hike yesterday……. We had just been talking about the lack of any bird or squirrel’s nests in the area and decided it was because the eagles nest was in these woods. Not too long after that, we noticed a rather ragged looking squirrels nest….which turned out to be not so far from the eagles nest. Once we saw the proximity of the squirrels nest to the eagles….we figured out why it was so ragged looking….possibly ravaged by the eagle searching for…

Outside My Window ~ 4.04.10
Outside My Window…the sun is setting on my parents house in Catawba, South Carolina. It was a wonderful day….temps were in the mid 80’s, blue skies and sunshine. I am thinking…how I hope everyone had a wonderful day today……and a Happy Easter! I am thankful for…many things come to mind, but right now I’m thankful for the opportunity to be able to come and stay with my parents. There was a time when they lived quite far away (Saudi Arabia being the greatest distance) and I was not able to see them as often as I would have liked. The fact they are living so much closer now is wonderful! 🙂 From the…

Relax
We arrived safe and sound….an uneventful trip that seemed shorter than the hours we traveled. This is the message above the whirlpool tub in my extra large bathroom off of my extra large bedroom taken at sunrise today….. ….and for the next 7 days, this is exactly what I will be doing. 8)

Outside My Window ~ 10.11.09
Outside My Window…is a beautiful morning……sunny, blue skies and it was 57F at 7:30 this morning. There is a nice breeze blowing as well. I started this a bit later, but still quite beautiful outside. We are forecasted for a high of 72F and partly cloudy skies. The rest of this week doesn’t look so promising with a few showers forecast for each day. There are a few trees beginning to change in our area but not quite as beautiful as some of the photos I have seen of the Northeast areas. I am thinking…how nice it was to see my friends Shelly and Bruce at P.F. Chang’s restaurant last…

Road Trip ~ Conclusion
As I conclude the tale of our road trip, I wanted to share a few more random photos with you. There was a full moon during my visit and try as I might, I was unable to get a photo of one that I was really happy with while it was dark….but I did get one early in the morning on the day we left… I’m still a work in progress when it comes to moon shots, but I was pretty happy with this one. 🙂 There were also some pretty amazing sunsets…. There was a shopping day while we were there of course. Seriously, have you ever known teen aged girls to go somewhere…

Road Trip ~ Part III ~ Down By The River
Before leaving for South Carolina, I did a little research on the area my parents had moved to. I found Landsford Canal State Park was close by and decided I wanted to check it out during my visit. Here is what the official site of South Carolina State Parks has to say about it….. A broad river, rich history and rare, hardy wildflowers come together at Landsford Canal State Park. Stretched along the Catawba River along the South Carolina fall line, the park is home to the well-preserved remains of the canal system that made the river commercially navigable from 1820 to 1835. Locks, a mill site and the lockkeeper’s home are among the…

Road Trip ~ Part I
While it has been a month since I took my trip to South Carolina, I have yet to post my photos from the trip as I promised. I thought I should break it up into different posts because there are quite a few photos I would like to share with you. When I planned the trip, I decided I wanted to take a road less traveled to the interstate. Well, actually the road is a four lane route and fairly well traveled, but it takes you through Suffolk, Franklin and Emporia. There are a few other smaller towns in between these that require you to slow down to 35 mph when…
