Enjoying the Snow

Miss Laya and Sugar enjoying the snowfall. Shortly after these pictures were taken, the snow picked up and the temperatures dropped. The ground is now completely covered and the snow is still coming down thick. More pictures soon!! :-)


Laya and her "toy", Sugar. Sugar doesn't mind at all that she has become a possession. I think she kind of likes it.

I love my girl!

Sugar. Always sweet as brown sugar! (-:

First Snow of the Season!

Well, first snow/sleet/rain of the season, should I say. But while it lasted, and the huge white flakes floated down, it sure was gorgeous. I've always said, if it's going to be so cold out, please just let the scenery be good. :-)

Smoky Mountains

This past September, my family went on a camping trip together to the Smoky Mountain Campground, nestled between Pigeon Forge and Cherokee. We spent a week in the great outdoors and enjoyed every bit of it. I'm sorry these pictures are coming late. But hey, judging from past experiences, at least they made it on here. :-)

Veterans Day at Fort Dobbs

In honor of Veterans day this year, Fort Dobbs of Statesville, NC held a living history day. All the people pictured here are volunteers that bring their own valuable things and camp "Colonial style" for two or three days while sharing their knowledge of the area, the artifacts, and the person they are "representing".

I was privileged to meet a Cherokee Indian, a group of soldiers defending Fort Dobbs in 1760, a WWI nurse, and a GI soldier. Together, all celebrating Veterans Day...

Some old pix

Working on some old picture for a friend who's getting some pictures framed to hang in his home. These were all taken at his farm, with his saddle, his horse, the barn, and the property there.
