This past week....

the kids and I visited the hubby in Clarksville, VA where his new job is. Let's just say it didn't take me long to fall in love with the quaintness of this small town! From the historical homes to the lampposts and benches along main street....there was not much that I didn't love about this town. The people were so friendly too! They were helpful and welcoming.....it was so lovely!

This was my FAVORITE house!


Isn't it great?! It has been in the same family forever....but a little birdie told me that it may go on the market since the current generation of owners is not interested in keeping it....I hope David says yes if I ask nicely! :)

And check out the lampposts! LOVE!


There is a huge thrift store at the edge of town that is run by the Ruritans. The proceeds from the shop go to the library, the museum and other such things around town. So, of course I did not mind spending money there :) We got hubby a microwave for $19 that looked like it had never been used and a puzzle for the kids to work. I also got these babies....

Aren't they great?! There are a total of 19 and I only paid $5.50! That's 29 cents each! They are going to be re purposed once I figure out what I want to make them into :)

Our visit was way to short, but loads of fun. I miss my hubby already, but I know we can do this! Now it's time to head to bed because tomorrow I send this kid

off to the Army to serve his country.
