I spent my first morning in Charleston wandering through the Battery. The architecture, wrought iron work, and monuments were quite facinating.
Stormy weather kept me inside for much of the afternoon.

The Opening Ceremonies of the 119th Annual Reunion of the Sons of Confederate Veterans was inspiring.

This Saturday, I escorted our out of town guest from France to the re-enactment in Louisa of the Battle of Trevilian Station. This was my very first re-enactment (our guests as well).
We had a delightful time capturing the sights and sounds of both the cavalry and infantry battles. In addition to the battles the encampments of the troops were quite interesting.

The Virginia Flaggers are pleased to announce the raising of the 2nd I-95 Memorial Battle Flag in the Commonwealth. A 20’ x 30’ Army of Tennessee version of theConfederate Battle Flag was raised this morning on an 82’ pole in Stafford County, just north of Fredericksburg, in a small, private ceremony that included a Confederate Color Guard, Rifle Salute, Invocations, and historical Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838885836763692375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158643.post-1135345360652022532014-03-28T20:09:00.002-04:002014-03-28T20:09:41.564-04:00Who?I saw a picture just the other day of a couple of youngster in a martial arts class. I'm told that one of them is my grandson. Which one I haven't a clue.
It is a sad shame when children, grow up, do stupid things and then proceed to become even dumber adults. From what I hear (which is little of nothing) the grandchildren are growing up rapidly. Yet I doubt that I would recognize either one if Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06838885836763692375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158643.post-51022069929184904082014-02-14T00:00:00.000-05:002014-02-14T00:00:08.737-05:00Happy Valentine's Day!

Step back in time with the Fletcher boys as they leave their home and family to join in the battle to remove the Yankee invaders from Virginia. Learn about their family and values. Travel with them as they move from the infantry to a calvary unit.

We've got a 'dry' snow here which isn't very good for making snowmen or snowballs, so I guess we will have to wait for the next one (hopefully next year) for any snowmen to appear.

That is not to say I haven't been busy, I just have been so busy posting and sharing all kinds of things on Facebook that I had not updated this site.

Sometime between the morning of Thursday, October 31st and the morning of Friday, November 1st, an Hitachi excavator was stolen from the RVA I-95 Battle Flag Memorial Site in Chester, Virginia. On September 28, the Va Flaggers raised a 15x15 Battle Flag on the site, to honor the memory of Confederate Soldiers who died defending Virginia in the War Between the States.

And since the OB/GYN coverage, as understood by the general population, is FREE because it is preventative in nature could not any individual visit the OB/GYN if they were in need of a physician's care for any illness?

The Virginia Flaggers have announced that they will be erecting a 50' flag pole along I-95 South of Richmond on which the Battle Flag will be flown.
The flag will serve to welcome visitors and commuters to Richmond, and remind them of our honorable Confederate history and heritage.
