My New Blogging Buddy, Shelia @ Pedaling Fast Is Having A Giveaway

 

Miss Shelia @ Pedaling Fast and Trying To Keep Up is having a great giveaway for this weekend!!!

She has a terrific blog and is my newest blogging buddy, we “almost” met in DC…well at least we tried.

We did get to visit by phone later that day. The 8-28 Restoring Honor was so busy that our cell phones quit working and the guides at the event cautioned her not to leave her spot for fear of not being able to get back to it.

Since I have positively no sense of direction my hubby went with me everywhere that day…and we met so many terrific people!!! I was just sorry that Shelia and I could not connect personally.

 

 

 

All of those books recommended reading for understanding how we achieved our greatness in this nation and the shirts and flags are some great items for you to show your political pride. I posted about the Don’t Tread On Me Emblem and flag here.

…Just a walking down the street…doo wah ditty, ditty ditty dum diddy dee…

After looking at my recent photos from Fredericksburg, Va. I’ve decided that I’m probably not the very best company on a sightseeing walk!!! Here are a few of the some two hundred photos that I snapped. We could have seen a lot more if I hadn't stopped every thirty seconds…but then I wouldn’t have been able to post these….hhhhmmmm decisions, decisions….


 Nice horse who was pulling a sightseeing buggy…I guess I wasn’t interested in the buggy since I don’t have a photo of it…



I talked to this little sweetie’s Mom…he was for sale…I wanted him…and I don’t even like Doxies…look  at those eyes!!!

I sure hope he found a wonderful home…his name was Tommy!!!

 Some seasonal goodies were showing up in the windows…love the witches’ legs' table…

This is the mega famous Carls’ Ice Cream shop…it was a tiny place!!! The ice cream was sooooo good…I had strawberry!!!

Such a pretty little beaded purse!!! I don’t know why I didn’t run right in and snatch it up!!!

This one was equally pretty…just not as colorful!!!

Some really cute barn critters!!!

One of the historical houses that line the street…

This is a close up of the roof with the eagles on the slates…I’m sure there is a purpose for these eagles but I don’t know what the purpose is…does anyone know what they are for???

I played peep-eye from outside with this precious little one, he/she was

inside of this building…

Brick sidewalks!!!

I’ll be walking over to the Barnyard Bash today…why not come along with me ???

Fried Brains…

Shots from a double-decker bus in Washington DC…

it was like 5729 degrees so if they look strange…it’s because my brain was cooking!!!

 

Enjoy!!!

 

 

 

mmmmmm….

 

 

See, this lady was 16 when we started…that’s what hot brains do to you!!!

 

Nice buildings…my fried brain doesn’t know what any of them are!!! (I think the bottom middle

one is the Lincoln Memorial…Zoe told me that and she stayed home!!!)…

My Morkie…

Hi, I’m Zoe and I’m three years old!!! I am a Morkie and I have a buddy named Buddy

…Buddy is seven years old and he is a Lab mixed with

Border Collie (we think)…

 

This is me and Buddy (right) and Dixie (left) exploring. We are big time explorers around here…

Sometimes we almost catch a white squirrel…

 

Sometimes we let DaddyBoy go with us…if he has been good!!!

 

Yep, I’m the leader…see!!!

 

I can run fast!!!

 

This is my Kitty…I have to kiss him everyday!!! His name is Snakebit…cause he was bit by a snake

when he was a baby kitty…that was before I came here…a long time before …DaddyBoy took

care of him and made him all better!!!

 

That’s Dixie, she’s a puppy and always gettin into something!!!

 

…like this!!! 

 

there’s one of those squirrels that we let go…we’re nice like that … cause

Mom would get upset if we “got” one of the white squirrels…

she’s always trying to take photos of them!!!

We’re so much cuter!!!

 

Those silly squirrels…

 

“Buddy, Dixie when Mom goes in…we’ll get that squirrel…all right guys!!!”

 

 

Stay there Buddy while I get Dixie!!!

 

 

Aw Buddy!!! Come on…

 

awwww Dixie…come on!!!

 

 

Come on down and play Mr. Squirrel!!! Puuhhhllleeeezzzeeeee!!!
