Our first home!



Welcome to Waypoint at Hampton! Here you can see one of the three ponds which are stocked with fish and home to many ducks and geese. There are also plenty of squirrels running around, too.

This is during the move-in process fidgeting with our TV and Ledger having a little rest break. He had the only furniture in the apartment for awhile. Yes, it's a real wood-burning fireplace there behind the TV! Too bad it hasn't been below 90 yet.

Here is our living room after placing our new furniture. We bought the sectional sofa, coffee table, and bookcase you see here as well as a dining room table, TV stand, chairs, headboard, dresser, and night stands, plus furniture for our balcony.
Our bedroom!

Here Ledger is pointing out all of the wildlife down below. He likes to spend most of his days sunning himself and watching all the activity from the balcony.

Fixing the Fence


  • Most of the new sections are up. Some new posts are needed before the remaining sections can be removed and replaced.

  • As part of a project within a project; David cut down a tree that was dead. It needs to be cut into smaller pieces and thrown into the coal bin.

  • The old fence sections need to be taken away.

  • Final phase invovles sealcoating the new fence.





Well, that's one section of the fence replaced.







Stretch Parker can reach it, but can she read it?


You've got to have the right tools!


Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

DC and beyond


This isn't DC but I did think it was really cute because Eric is riding a bike way too small. Kyle told him to so they could go on a bike ride together and they did.

This was one of our first side trips. This is the house where Becky lived the first few years of her life. It is on a farm and the grandparents lived in the main house.
Our second side trip was a visit to Becky's Aunt Betty. We took her out to lunch, then headed to DC!! Laura is an excellent guide!!
These were across the street from our hotel. Becky thought they were nuns.
We spent Saturday in Alexandria. Laura and Mort are going colonial.
This and several of the following pictures are from a pharmacy in Alexandria. It had been around since 1792. In 1933, the family just closed the doors and walked away. Bottles still have stuff in them, and it has hardly been touched since then. I would have like to see more of it.



I had to take the pictures below for obvious reasons.


The poor ducklings could not get out of the water. Their mother would get out and wait for them but they kept jumping into the cement side. The water level was too low. Some thoughtful person placed a piece of cardboard on the edge, but they couldn't figure it out. Becky was trying to get their attention so she could help them. They didn't fall for that either.
Becky was excited to be staying so close to the Capitol (3 blocks). She got yelled out once for being too close-she was trying to look in the windows.
