Weekend in Charlotte, NC

You can see all of my photos from our race weekend here.
Our neighbor, Tim, had two extra tickets to the Coca-Cola 600, so we piled in the truck with him and his brother, Jack, for a Memorial Day-weekend in Charlotte.  We left our house around 8am on Friday morning (May 22nd) and stopped for breakfast [...]

Pretty Light Show

Let it Snow!

I finished our Christmas shopping today.  The lines were awful and it was taking waaaay longer than I ever expected, but as I walked out of the next-to-last store it started snowing.  I didn’t even know it was supposed to snow.  It’s sticking, enough so that I slid and almost missed one of my turns [...]
