To Bid Farewell

Spending time with three of my dearest friends was wonderful. Bidding them farewell was not. Utah welcomed me home with 94 degree heat. Even with no humidity, that's rough.

My adventures in Virginia seemed never-ending. By the time I said so long, I'd seen more of Manassas, and as much as I could see of Fredericksberg, Chancellorsville, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Appomatox, several art museums, including the Hirshorn, the Air and Space Museum annex, Harpers Ferry, and Pensys Spice store.

There were also never-ending adventures as a Jedi Master, playing the voice and being the actions of many Transformers and Voltron, as well as pirating and treasure hunting. Stories were read and told. Songs were sung. New friends were made. Fun was had.

It was a perfect time. Though I had to bid farewell to my dearest friends, I take comfort in the fact that I can look forward to new adventures and new memories.

I miss you, my dearest friends, thank you.

"Making Fiends"

Making fiends is a delightfully macabre little cartoon. It's about two young girls. Charlotte is uber-sweet and loves making friends while Vendetta is always creating fiends with which to torment her friends. It's really funny and if you have even half a sense of humor, you'll enjoy this.

Maiden Blog Voyage

So, I'm on vacation in Virginia and visiting my very dear friends, The Browns. As a Civil War buff, this is the place for me! Thursday we headed to Fredericksburg, Chancelorsville, The Wilderness, and Spotsylvania. Lucky for me, I had a young Civil War general with me. He was able to give me the skinny on the battles he fought in. Keep in mind my young general friend is five.

As much as I love the history in this area...the best part is spending time with Julia, Bruce, and Colter. They have been the greatest friends...going on 14 years.

No entry written from Virginia...from The Brown abode...would be complete without a description of the marvelous vittles I've eaten here. Brownies, cookies, and chocolate, of course.

Yesterday we went to The Air and Space Museum Annex for a visit. I'm the daughter of a retired military man so walking through KC-135s, C-17s, and the likes is amazing.

So, this concludes my first ever blog entry. Good night and good luck.
