Goodnight Bear

There are no photos to this post. No photo could express how I feel. Tonight we lost our oldest cat, Ted, or as he was affectionately known.. Teddy.. Teddy Bear... Bear... Big Cat... Fat Teddy... Mr. Cat.. etc.
He had a good 18 years.
He will be missed.

Saturday Fun

Saturday Morning came and we headed out to the Harpers Ferry National Fark to the C&O Canal Park (on the Maryland Side) and took a nice walk down the canal and over the Appalachain Trail that corsses the Potomac River.

After Harpers Ferry, We headed back to the family compound for a little backyard fun with the girls... 

Family Friday

Hello Friday! This is definitely a good day! Got to work and they really didn't ahve anything for me to review- so, I heqaded out a bit early to my brothers in Keedysville... We headed over to Sharpsburg, MD and had lunch at Captain Bender's Tavern. Very cool little place. They had a great Buffalo Chicken Salad!
