Today we had a sudden realization.

We drove my sister to work, and just didn't feel like going home.

We drove out to Staunton River State Park, and checked out the changes since the tornado.

We stopped at a driving range, and had lunch at the cute little diner.

It was a lovely afternoon to eat out side. The Diner was cute and the cook was also the waitress and the cashier. There were a few locals, that seemed to be other family members.

They had some really pretty roses growing against their fence.

I thought they added charm to the place.

Bird houses were everywhere!

The owners cute little puppies ran over to see us!

They were so small, and waddled everywhere. This little girl puppy came over and immediately rolled over on to her back for cuddles.

I ordered a grilled cheese.

Roland got a burger, of course.

We left, and started slowly to make our way back to Vickie's work.  We would drive and then slow down so I could take pictures of things like this.

And this.

Just old buildings that have seen better times.  I still think they are beautiful.

I can just imagine what they looked like when they were new. When the roof wasn't rusted. A time when the siding was painted white, the lawn kept with flowers on either side of the walk way.  This place was someone's home.  It held their hopes and dreams saw children grow up, saw loved ones die. I love old houses.

We realized, today we were Sunday drivers!  It was fun, and I enjoyed spending the time with my husband, that wasn't in front of a TV or computer. It was a lazy summer Sunday, and It was wonderful.

Muwah!
