Back To The Real World

I'm having a little bit of trouble with the pictures this morning, I hate that! The weekend turned out to be rather bright and sunny despite the Dire Predictions of the Crack Weather Team so we headed out to Barrackville, WV. Ray has been dying to see a covered bridge and this one isn't overly far. The boys were making faces about going, but both found it pretty interesting once we got there. The bridge is pretty much historically intact and is special in the way it's constructed. Ray and I both took tons of pictures. I wanted to go to Clarksburg but David insisted on trying to find the highway and the next thing I knew we were headed back home.  We went to the little museum in town also but that was a big disappointment, they were no longer showing the local paintings but instead have an expo on steel drums. That would only be interesting if you liked steel drums. We stopped in at Carvel next door which was far more interesting. Sunday we shopped and messed around, we went to dinner at Ruby Tuesday which everyone loves. Monday went rather smoothly - oddly enough - Ray got off in good time and the boys were packed and ready to go to the airport. It was odd coming home to an empty house though. in other news, my shawl is going well and faster than expected, I may have to switch the cable out again soon.
