Before we went to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary we hung out with the in-laws in Paint Bank, Virginia ... stopping that General Store to celebrate the MIL's 80th birthday. So fun. We have been to this General Store before (they have the a store on the top floor with Christmas ornaments for sale and other bits ...we did take pics so the MIL could see without walking up the steep stairs) ... and knew they 2 of them would love it as well. They have a beautiful ole' mill in the back.

In November 2024 ...we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on November 6th ...we took a trip to celebrate then ... to stay a few nights. Each breakfast was magically different, I must admit I was a bit concerned ...who would wish for a same ole' meal every day. LOL!! Each day was a different chef, helpers and folks staying at the B & B. So that was fun. A great stopping point for us to get around and check out some biking paths, hiking spots, views ... and other must see sights. The mill was all dressed up for Halloween, fall autumnal season ...very pretty. It was an adjustment to wait til 9 am for breakfast each morning ...the AM that we were leaving ...we had to be patient ....our neck for the woods part of VA ...takes a while to get home ...from this part of TN ...and being that November is in the later time of the year ... it gets darker ...quicker ...but it was so fun. Good memories.

When we got the B & B ... we noticed this bike place ...walked around, right out the door of the B & B, opened the door and walked in ...no 1 was around (open from 8 am to 8 pm) ...There are cameras ... a bit odd ...but so fun to check out and see all these beauties. FUN TIMES!! You can even go to this website and understand what each of these bikes are ...if you so desire ... found that interesting that they list them on their website. VERY COOL!! Thank you so much for stopping in today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Oh, now I want to go to Paint Bank! It’s kind of a long way though. My eyes get tired after an hour or two of driving.

Bar U Ranch National Historical Site, Alberta, Canada

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get ...

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees?
