*blows off dust* Hi y'all! :wave: So, um, it's been a while. Heh. What have I been up to, you ask? Well: My youngest started Kindergarten, my middle is now in 7th grade, my oldest is taking French and Spanish in his 8th/9th grade homeschool courses, my hubby is still a grump, and I'm still ordered a...

I'll post the write ups for the remaining numbers this evening, as I'm just about to walk out the door now. Mainly because I just want to share my pics of Colonial Williamsburg with you all ...

Good evening, all! Apologies in advance for the length of today's post. Sometime's it's impossible to squeeze 300+ years of history into just a handful of paragraphs. :) Today's numbers are: 11 – Chincoteague http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/jvgordon/chincoteague_zpsyv2fkeij.jpg Chincotea...

YAY DEBBY'S BACK!

I'll be back this evening to post today's numbers! Hoping for a check-in from cairee.

Side note: I wrote a novella for today. Also, my 4 year old is depressed because all the snow is gone...

Be back his evening!

What a weekend!! We were buried under snow, lost power, and then the forum went down! :tizzy: I saw on another thread that Debby (our beloved fccs) is having troubles accessing the site. So, to maintain fairness, I'll suspend the game just another day, hopefully she'll be able to make it back soon. ...

I made it through! Our snow turned to sleet and freezing rain on Friday evening, leading to a power outage for about 8 hours. I'm not quite sure, as I went to sleep and woke up to lights. Much praising of our power company for being out in the mess to restore it as quickly as possible! School's out ...

I had troubles getting on yesterday after I saw the FB announcement that it was back. I just decided to give it a little time and here I am! Of course, I whined to my husband all weekend about not being able to get on. First a power outage due to the storm, then being snowed in ALL WEEKEND, and not ...

None for me today :-( but I'm still enjoying all the interesting history and fun facts. Me too!!!!! Carole ETA: Stay safe and warm as this winter storm moves through Virginia!! :snowman: Carole :dance: I'm ready! We're right on the line that divides all snow and snow/sleet/freezing rain, so I hope ...

Happy Thursday! So glad you're enjoying the facts. I must say, compiling these and finding relevant photos, etc. is really fun. I've also managed to tie this into my son's Virginia History curriculum, and he has really gotten into finding videos on YouTube for me to share. Today's numbers, including...

I missed a day!!! :oops: So sorry! Let's just pretend that didn't happen, okay? Today's numbers are: 8 – Charlottesville http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/jvgordon/CharlottesvilleMap_zpslmvqporo.jpg Charlottesville is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The county seat of ...

So lovely!! I'm going to have to look into getting some for my daughters to stitch. And, let's be honest, for myself as well. I really like the way the dragonfly looks!!

Hope this (bitterly cold!!! :cold:) Monday finds you all well. Today's numbers are: 9 - Chesapeake Bay http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/jvgordon/cheapeake20bay_zpsp0b6lyxs.jpg The Chesapeake Bay is an estuary lying inland from the Atlantic Ocean, and surrounded by the North American mainlai...

Forgive the lateness, please! We had snow today which of course meant life stopped so we could watch and enjoy. This afternoon was my son's birthday party, followed by dinner with my sister-in-law from Georgia, whom of course we only see once in a while. Today's numbers are: 3 – Arlington National...

Happy Saturday! Today's numbers are: 4 – Appomattox Court House http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/jvgordon/640px-Appomattox_Court_House_Historical_Park_zpsj8l88mdt.jpg The Appomattox Court House is a National Historic Park of original and reconstructed nineteenth century buildings in Virgi...

Happy Friday! I do hope you're all enjoying reading all of this. If you enjoy it half as much as I'm enjoying gathering photos and info, I'll consider it a success. :dance: Today's numbers are: 20 – Mount Vernon http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/jvgordon/large_mount-vernon-bowling-green_zp...

Closing in on two weeks of work with the Mermaid. I'm taking my time, and this time around the parking technique has been a godsend. When I made working copies I split the large pages (they're about 11" x 17" I think) in two. Last night I completed the first row, and I'm about halfway thro...

Sorry for the lateness! Today's numbers are: 2 – American Foxhound http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/jvgordon/american_foxhound_3_zpsfturwekx.gif The American Foxhound dates back to mid-to-late 18th century. In 1650, Englishman Robert Brooke sailed to North America with his pack of hunting...
