A Birthday Weekend

This past weekend was my dad's birthday (January 13th.) Here's a photo of him with his beloved steel guitar.



Eric, Nathan and I drove out to visit with them and help celebrate Dad's b-day. Surprise of surprises, my Uncle Jeff was at dinner too. It was his birthday as well.

Nathan was star student in his class last week which meant he got to bring home the class "pet" for the weekend. The pet is a stuffed giraffe named Ginger. She also comes with a diary/travel log for the student to write all their adventures in. So while in Amissville visiting we took a side trip to Washington, Virginia. The first town to be named after our first President George Washington. It's a lovely little town better known for it's 5 star (yes I said 5 as in FIVE) restaurant -- The Inn at Little Washington. Here's a pic of Nathan and Ginger standing in front.



Can you believe this weather we're having in the middle of January?! Here's a pic I took of Nathan and Ginger in front of a forsythia - also in Washington, VA.



Can you read about Washington, Virgina here?



Oh and the family has a new blogger too! Kim Weiss has started a blog. You can see them here, her little one isn't so little any more either!

That's all the fun for today. Time to do some Spring Cleaning!!

I can't believe the forsithia (How the hell do you spell it?!)is blooming! They are all going to die this week. I have all my bulbs coming up and I am trying to talk them back down but they won't listen.
Thanks for the plug and for sharing your comments.
Love,
Kim
