Hurricane Visit

Hurricane Ida hit the gulf coast on August 29th. It was almost a direct hit to New Orleans, where my husband’s parents live. They tried getting a flight out the Friday before but the flight was cancelled. They ended up staying there for the hurricane with their daughter. A few days after the storm they returned home to a small amount of damage to their house but no water and no electricity.

They decided to come and visit us. They’ve been here almost two weeks, relaxing and not thinking of the hurricane damage. Tonight we we took them out to dinner with our friends. We had a great time catching up with them and taking their minds off the hurricane. Not sure how much longer they will be staying with us but I’m glad we were able to help them in their time of need.

Visiting Friends

This weekend we went to the Northern Neck of Virginia to visit our friends Bob and Jackie. We’ve known them for years but haven’t seen them for awhile. They invited us down for the weekend to visit wineries and catch up. We had a nice time catching up with what’s new with them. We also visited several wineries while there. We need to visit them more often.

We are still in Charlottesville. We attended a media event this evening. A friend of ours was running the event and asked me to wear the same shirt he was going to wear. He told me it was time to wear something different then plaid. He bought the shirts and gave me one this morning at another event. He told me to wear it tonight. So…here we are. It was the funniest thing. Everyone at the event got a kick out of it. Lots of people took our picture. We loved it. I’ll probably never wear that shirt again. It’s a bit small for me. Hahahaha

Early Morning

We are still in Charlottesville enjoying our vacation visiting wineries. We already bought about 3 cases of wine in the few days we’ve been here. We have a few more. I wanted to share another morning shot. I got up early again this morning and saw this beautiful pink sky. It was a little dark still so I had to hold the camera really still. Again, I took this one with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I love the colors!

Vacation

I am a terrible blogger. I let the whole month of July go by without a post. Well yesterday we started our vacation. We are in Charlottesville visiting wineries. We are staying at the cottages at Afton Mountain Vineyards. I woke up a bit early this morning and saw this sunrise. It’s almost like a picture I took almost a year ago. It was taken with iPhone 12 Pro Max. We’ll be here for a few more days. I’m sure we’ll buy lots of wine and have a great time.
