Let's share pics of where we live.  Some of us may never get to see other parts of the world except in pics.  I'll share some of mine if you share some of yours!!!

Here's some pictures of my house after we had snow yesterday and today.  The last pic is taken through my sunroom window. Our Christmas tree is stuck up by the boat trailor full of snow.

We just spent $10, 000 on a new snowmobile but I don't care the snow either.  It's a BIG mess to clean up.  Hubby was using the snow blower and I was shovelling. I would rather be in Australia with Charee away from the snow. I have been cold all day brrrrrrrr

We live in Richmond Va .  We moved here 2 years ago from from sunny So. Calif .  We lived in Buena Park and
the company I worked for was bought out by a company based here and I was asked to move to VA.
It is very nice here .   The col,ors in the trees here are Red , Yellow and Orange and the lake is 15 acres .
We live across the street from it and there is boating and fishing on it.

I to love VA .  It is so Historic and I wish I knew more about the civil war .  We belong to a Museum called the
Museum of the Civil War soldier and they have special events their so I am learning more .  I have visited many
battle fields here . Below is a picture of my son with Abe Lincoln impersonator we saw there .  He did interviews
and it was fun.
