Christmas 2018

Christmas is here! On this  First Day of Christmas,  I got a lot of neat stuff. Including a new Nintendo game and and some Old Spice.   Usually on Christmas Day  we go to the Jefferson Hotel downtown  to see what kind of Gingerbread house they put up.  I love decorating the house for Christmas. This year it was hard to find a tree.They were sold out early.  We went all over . I finally got one at Lowe's: A  nice full figured Douglas Fir. I loaded it with traditional red and white ornaments. Some I made myself. We usually enjoy a ham or turkey dinner with all the fixings.  I attend Christmas Eve church service for midnight worship. This Christmas felt nice and relaxed. More enjoyable than last year. I try to remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas.

I sang at a few Christmas parties and made some extra money. I also did a lot of entertaining as Santa Cow at work. I rode in the Christmas Parade in the trolley. It was a lot of fun. I feel that most people rush Christmas by the time it really comes, they are fed up with it. It's nicer to take things slowly. I usually don't put up any decorations until mid December- that is when I usually get the tree. We put a tree in the front parlor, and then one in the dining room .

Lee Jackson Day Weekend- Lexington VA!

 Although the Commonwealth of Virginia sadly no longer recognizes Lee-Jackson Day Weekend, many Virginians still honor and celebrate it. Here are a just a few shots from Lee-Jackson Day weekend in Lexington ! There was an awesome parade we did through downtown Lexington , which was preceeded by a memorial service at Stonewall Jackson Cemetery. I marched with a large group of close to 100 people, and many spectators on the street waved and said "God Bless, Y'all!" to us. We got  almost all positive feedback and encouragement. The town itself is run by liberals, but many that live there are not on that side , and are real patriots. I enjoyed walking through Lexington, I haven't been there in many many years. On my way back, I stopped at the Depot Grille in Staunton, Virginia- a fun restaurant which was converted from an actual railroad depot. My waitress was a doll. The weather was chilly, but bearable.  It was a fun time overall !             ...

The Wayside Inn, Winchester, The Mountains, and Merry Thanksmas

I had to pick up my sister in Leesburg early for Thanksgiving, so I decided to stay at the Wayside Inn located in Middletown, Virginia, near Winchester. This gave me an option outside of "nova" and a chance to breathe. I have stayed there a few times before and it's like staying in a living museum.  I had a slight falling out with the management over my bookings, but we have made ammends. They no longer have independent live music, but instead  have weekend bluegrass jams. I love the history and the ambiance. This time I stayed in the Jubal Early room- the room once occupied by Confederate General Jubal Early. It was one of the rooms in the hotel that has the least amount of "ghost" activity, however, I felt a little odd , as just my sister and I  and two other guests were there the entire night. On my side of the hotel, no guests had arrived and the room across the hall was unoccupied.. The entire side of  my  hotel was empty! I did hear some strange things, su...
