Moving

On the road again..

Saying good-bye to the Davis Family

It was just a *little* tight in all of our cars!

A small town in West Virginia.

It was so picturesque!

Another little town...

These little towns kept popping up in the middle of nowhere,

Mom and I think they may be mining towns!

The white line on the middle of the mountain is a road. There were no guard rails and no shoulder at all. No wonder Nana was so worried about us driving through West Virginia! Those are the roads she used to have to take!

Moving in!

The last few days we have been, cleaning the new (rental) house!

Today the moving trucks (all three of them) are going to deliver our stuff!

We are getting very excited about Christmas! Yesterday we bought a real tree!

Well....the moving trucks just pulled up!! We will post pictures soon!!!!!!!

Love,

Jenny-Penny

New Home

Well, interesting bit of information from our new neighbors...

If we hear helicopters, machine guns, or large explosions (that will make our windows rattle)

in the middle of the night...

DON'T WORRY

It's just Camp Peary

(the military training center down the road)

It took us 10 minutes to convince Mom that we weren't kidding!

And another 10 minutes to convince her that it is no big deal,

they probably won't miss their target (we hope!)

Home

"My home is not a place, it is people"
Lois McMaster Bujold

"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."
John Howard Payne

"The most important work you and I will ever do will be within the walls of our own homes."
Harold B. Lee

New House

This dashing place will be our home for approximately the next 12 months.
It has 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, and space enough for all of us!
It also boasts a half-acre lot!

Pie Baking

Here is a slightly belated post of our Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Baking Day!

Nana teaching Leah how to make pie crust

ALL the cans of pumpkin!

Jenny and Mom making the filling

A lively games of jacks!

My "mini me" and I enjoying the day!
(Do you see the resemblance?)

Virginia!

We went to a parade of boats on the York River.

Some of the boats were decorated really uniquely.

Here's Jenny at Virginia Beach

The rest of the gang!

It was 68 degrees out and we were freezing! The wind from the ocean was frigid!

The boardwalk was decorated for Christmas!

The beach had huge light displays, you can see them in the background on the right.

It snowed on our way home! The Smokey Mountains are gorgeous when they are covered in snow. However, driving a 12 passenger van through the snow is not fun!
