Our second snow fall in December

     Now I am all for a pretty scene like this, but when you have a large driveway to shovel, snow can be a dirty word.  We got 5 inches of the white stuff on Sunday in less then 3hrs.  So first thing Monday morning Jer n I were out clearing the driveway.  Tuesday morning, here it comes back again...fast and furious. Another 7 inches dumped on us in a few hours.  Soooo out we go again...this time our neighbor came over to help us.  We no sooner finished, when here comes the snowplow and blocks the driveway #@#$%%!
Guess what!!!   the forecast is calling for more this weekend.  Oh well can't fight Old man Winter...he has made his way here a week earlier and giving us some unwanted work to do!   I love to see pretty winter scenes like this while I am in a nice warm house drinking hot tea, but having to go out in it is no longer fun for me.   Snow is for Kids!!!!!  I am dreaming of Sun and Warmth and sitting on my porch with a nice glass of wine having happy hour.  Ok..my rant is now over!!!  Thanks for bearing with me...haha :)

It's Beginning to look alot like christmas

Riding the Rails

                                          Had a great time riding the Steam Train on Saturday

                                          It's all about the Civil War era and the songs during that
                                           time in history!

This young Lady dressed in the fashion back then,

was full of lots of historic tidbits!!

                                                 Well...not everyone had a good time!! Just as she drifted off..I heard her
                                                  say the word...BORING!!!!   Just kidding...she actually was liking it
                                                  but was so tuckered out from her early morning swim meet, she just
                                                   could not stay awake!!!

 It's not often that you see a purple fence.  This caught my eye right away during a train ride on the rail trail in Hanover Junction Pa.  Very unique I must say!!!!!

Inspired Sunday in WV

St Peters Roman Catholic Church in Harpers Ferry WV is a very inspiring structure.  It sits way up on top of the hill and can be seen from across the potomac river.  These stone steps leading up to the top are steep and can be very slippery when wet!   I tell you...I was huffing and puffing by the time I reached the top!

                                                          
                                                    go here to see more gorgeous churches

Fall Reflections in WV

         Cacapon State park in Berkeley Springs WV.  is in a blaze of  Fall colors..  so peaceful and quiet this time of year!                                                              

                                                                         
                                                                         go here to see more outdoor shots

Healing WatersI

What a cool little town Berkeley springs WV is!!!  Jer and I figured that if it was ok with George Washington, then it was ok with us!!!    He visited there quite often and between him, his family and friends, they owned most of the town.  It's true about the water temps too...we know cause we dipped our feet in the stream pictured above and sure enough...it was nice and warm!!!  This little town has a spa on every corner.  It is still very popular to soak in the warm springs and then get a massage.  We didn't partake in this activity this time around...but if we ever get back to this charming town, we are going to take advantage of it.  After all as the sign says, it heals lots of ailments and we do have some of them!  We did drink some of the water out of the public fountain and all of a sudden we had a lot more energy..hmmmmm makes you wonder!!!

Happy 24

This is dedicated to the Love of my life and wonderful Hubby...Jer.  May this wonderful and sometimes crazy life we share, continue with many more years in the future!!!   This song really does say it all!!!
                                                                 
                                                       
Yep...here are the faces behind the scenes of...Life According to Jan and Jer!  We are the "J" team!
