Sleeping Car for Norfolk and Western Railway

A Very Narrow Walkway

Velvet Curtains

Beautiful Wood

I had great fun riding in the caboose on the train on Saturday. After it stopped, I was able to walk into another car. It brought back memories of my catching the Florida East Coast Railroad in West Palm Beach in the afternoon, and arriving in Atlanta where I was attending Emory University. I had an upper berth and it was great fun.

My son brought Eloise over to Charlottesville to meet up with Buddy and me after I finished with all of my tests at UVA Hospital. he wanted to have an early Camp Baga over spring break. That night I had to stay quiet and when in bed I had to have 2 pillows under my head. I could not lie down because the dye could go to my head and cause a horrible, longterm headache. So here we are in MY bed watching Eloise’s Angelina Ballerina shows on NetFlix. She is eating a frozen yogurt stick. I was on water. My granddaughter really took very good care of her old Baga.

A Piece of Me ~ {in the picture} ~ #11

Here is the final installment of my “snow angel” fiasco. You can see Jack had had enough and was heading for the house. I’d had enough, too. I made it for this last, one cold shot, and then I went in, too. Geeze, it was cold out there!

"So long, it's been good to know yuh;
So long, it's been good to know yuh;
So long, it's been good to know yuh.
But this dusty old dust is a-gettin' my home
And I've gotta be driftin' along."

~Woodie Gutherie”


{There are many verses to his song, but this is the refrain that repeats itself after every verse...and the one I remember.}

A Piece of Me ~ {in the picture} ~ 52 in 52 ~ #7

I am one of those older women who has to constantly watch her weight. It is either walk before I leave for school in the mornings or drag myself out on the highway and walk after I get home in the evenings. This was taken with me fully dressed for work this morning about 6:45 at my 1/2 mile point The minute I got back to the car (my 14 minute mile complete) I took off the sneakers and put on my school teacher shoes. Then I pulled off to drive the 30 minutes to my school. Today it was beautiful so I was able to walk another mile when I got home this afternoon. I am not doing very well with my iPhone photos, but at least I am keeping my bargain of 52 photos in 52 weeks in 2012.
