Lunch in Leesburg, Virginia

Lunching in historic Leesburg at Lightfoot Restaurant couldn't have been better.

I love these antebellum homes that are now upscale trendy shops, taverns and resturants. They are reminders of a grand society of days gone by. I enjoy seeing what has been so elegantly preserved and loved.

Only the company and conversation topped the food.
So~ What did we talk about? FOOD!

One of the girls asked if we get the instant oatmeal. Of course, one of my favorite quick breakfasts.

"Have you ever substituted apple juice for the water?"
NO!
Who would ever think of that? She leaned over her Ruben Sandwich and declared oatmeal cooked in apple juice is fabulous!
Going to try it. If you do, let us know what you think.

I so enjoy lunching with the bold and beautiful young professionals. They are all so in the know about everything...even talk about something I know ...oatmeal.

Summer 2009

Where are the lazy days of summer? Mine are filled with one activity after the other.

Saturday we took four of the little ones to my brother's Airport where he complied with their wishes to go flying.

You can click on the two photos below to see the photos become a video.
They are off...Madison was up front with Tommy. They are to tap him on the shoulder if they wanted to land. They NEVER do and protest returning to the field. A low level flight takes them over farms which are picturesque from above. I think we have a bunch of little aviators here.
Once on the ground, they were ready to "take off" in the golf cart.
We had a great time visiting with my brother and little the little ones enjoy the wide open spaces.
