ODC Weekend at Cozy Acres June 17-19 2011

We had a great weekend with Old Dominion Cardinals at Cozy Acres Campground in Powhatan, Va. We only had 6 rigs but a smaller group sometimes is much more fun as you get to visit with everyone. Dick and Sharon Bowen brought two of their grandaughters ages 10 and 12 and we had Madie (12) with us and the Horungs had their two boys so we had YOUNG people for a change.. Friday night was just a time for visiting and food
Saturday started off with a big breakfast fixed by the Welfords and Messerles. After that it was time to hit the pool with the kids. After a break at noon and then more swimming we had a barbeque chicken dinner with all the trimmings.
Welford brought his large movie screen to set up outside and we watched the movie Secretariat . It was a wonderful movie and enjoyed by all.We came home Sunday afternoon but not before having to stop for about an hour due to a motorcycle/car accident but since we were in the MH it was comfortable. Madie, Natalie and Renee

Brad & Larry Welford

Madie went home on Wednesday but is looking forward to going again in July & August and also a trip to Michigan late July or early August. She loves going with us "OLD PEOPLE" and had never been to Michigan so we want to show her where her Daddy grew up.

June 15, 2011 Where did the time go ???

As I sit here updating the Blog I am wondering where did May 24 until now go? Well if I really stop and think about it these are the things that happened during that time. First the 2 day travel to Indy, Kate's kindergarten graduation, washing all the front porch, back porch and patio furniture, planting 5 flats of flowers, cooking and filling up the freezer with food for them after we leave, painting back porch table and chairs, putting bird feeder pole back up, unstopping 3 drains that were running slow, hanging a cabinet in the garage, remounting a cabinet in the garage, putting an addition on to Noah's tree house, painting 2 Adirondack chairs, working with Ally on the third floor sorting thru boxes, getting car seats and cradle ready for the new baby which was born on June 8th. Sophia Chambers Hedrick is beautiful and we are happy that she is here and doing well.
Is anyone wondering why Larry and I are exhausted?
I am going to try and post some pictures now.
We left Indy on Sunday afternoon and arrived back in Virginia on Monday around 1:30 pm. Of course we have not stopped since as the flower beds were full of weeds and so was the garden.
