Saturday in Williamsburg

Don't  have much to say today, the guys played golf yesterday afternoon and Beverly and I went shopping at an outlet mall. The best part of the afternoon was the carmel apple we each bought at the Chocolate Factory and ate outside, sitting on a bench, watching people walk by.

Today we slept in late had breakfast and are waiting for the OU game to come on.  Our satellite won't work here, there's a tree blocking our reception so we'll go to the Johnson's house to watch the game and eat a late lunch.

We plan to leave here Monday, Monday has become moving day for us. We will drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway and spend a couple nights in Asheville, NC and tour the Biltmore Mansion. We did that a few years ago but it was a hot day and I wasn't feeling well, so hopefully this trip will be even more enjoyable. 

It will take us about a week to get to Texas to see Wyatt. Oh, Russell and Cassie too. Cassie said they took Wyatt to her doctor's appointment with them the other day and he got to hear the baby's heartbeat. When the doctor left the room he said "baby, heartbeat" and imitated the sound he'd heard. We get to talk to him on the phone and he always wants to talk to Papaw about riding the tractor. His birthday is Nov. 6 and the theme is tractors. I better stop talking about him or we'll have to pull up stakes right now and head that way.

After we leave Texas we may go to Norman, Richard and DeNae are moving again, to a temporary home until they get to move to the big house in August. Oh, their house sold and closing is set for the 14th, DeNae will still stress until every line is signed and money exchanged. But, I'm not about to make fun of her for that because I'm a huge stresser too.

This is a picture of the dinning room of the Governor's  Mansion at Williamsburg, VA.  The woodwork in these old homes just amaze Rick and me. There is so much detail especially when you think that they didn't have to power tools we have today.

This picture is of the room where the Governor resided, with benches on each side for the burgesses, I guess they were kind of like congress.  To the right of the photo is a chair, which looks like a large book case from the back, where the Governor sat. Our little group of 4 were trouble makers in the pic. Gary, because the tour guide, who is seen standing in the back of the room and who must work as a dominatrix at night, said for everyone to take a seat around the perimeter of the room and the children could sit at the table in the center. See where Gary is, well he is childlike at times. The second troublemaker was Rick, the dominatrix had told us at the first of the tour to hold our picture taking until the end of her speech in each room. Well, by the time she quit talking everyone was already moving on and you couldn't get a good picture, soooo, we are obviously sitting directly across the room from her, Rick raises his camera to his eyes in the midst of her presentation, she notices, pauses for a second, thinking about pulling our her whip, he snaps the shot, she resumes her speech, then moments later once again announces that we should refrain from taking pictures until the end of her talk.  Rick didn't even use a flash, but mister never did anything wrong got in trouble. Na-Na-Na-Na--Na-Na!!!

Well, it's about game time so I'll say goodbye for now and get back to you later. Hopefully we win this game, Rick gets in a foul mood when we don't win, that makes me turn into a:

YEP!, THAT'S ME ON A BAD DAY.

Love you all and miss you.
