Charlottesville/Roanoke Virginia

A few photos from my recent trip to Charlottesville, and through Roanoke. So many didn't turn out right, I somehow got smudges on my lense and didn't realize it until I downloaded my pics.. *sigh*

So.. Anyway.. Here are a few...

Roanoke, in the evening..

Ok, so he had nothing to do w/the trip... But so cute.. :) I got this pic just before I left..
Duke and Peni - I had to leave him outside while I was gone.

He had all of his toys to keep him company.. *lol* But.. *sigh*

He was aggravated that I left him, and shredded them ALL...... :*(

Blue Ridge Mountains
(*sigh* Those smudges. Will try to re-take next month)

I'll be in Lynchburg next week for a Leadership training conference, and will try to get some photos, if I have any free time at all. I'll also be in Charlottesville again at the end of April, and will try to get more pix - w/out the smudges this time. *lol*

Yeah.. It's me..

Ok, not sure the month this one (above) was taken.

I am thinking February?

The above photo was taken April 2007

Below pix taken March '07..

Duke and Neiko

I'll add more of these later.. For now, here are a few pix of Duke (St. Bernard mix) and Neiko (tiny toy Chihuahua)

He's always wanting to play ball.. *lol*

He bit the ball, and it shot forward.. Love his ears in the one! *ha*

Trying to figure out how to get his ball out of the pond.. *rofl*

Lil Neiko, just before he barked, you can see his lil nose crinkled up.. *lol*

Rest time for Duke.. :)

Cowboy Up club

Some pics from a night out at Cowboy Up in Bluefield WV - Jamie, Courtney and Amber.. I'm not in any of these, for one thing, I was the one w/the camera (well duh *lol*) and secondly, I wouldn't have wanted to be in the pics that night, I looked like crap. *lol*
