Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52897) • United States 14 Jul

I thought that I was out of the woods, but I caught my husband’s cold. My throat felt funny Friday night. I woke up Saturday morning realizing why. I am grateful that I have been sicker. The nights are worse than the days. I seem...

His Tooth Broke

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52897) • United States 6 Jul

My poor husband broke the bottom part of one of his upper front teeth when he was a teenager. He was swimming and somehow hit it on the concrete pool. It was repaired and lasted until yesterday. I guess after nearly 50 years it...

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52897) • United States 2 Jul

In our neighborhood in West Virginia there have been a lot of black bear sightings. I wouldn’t want to get close to one, but this one sure is cute. Thankfully they aren’t bothering anyone. I have always been told that black bears...

Free Concert

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52897) • United States 27 Jun

I’m not sure if I’ve shared this photo before. I have a handful of photos from this 1971 John Denver concert in Charleston, West Virginia. His song “Country Roads” was on its way to becoming a hit. He was performing from the...

I Was Shocked

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52897) • United States 25 Jun

My sister sent me this photo a few weeks ago. I was totally shocked when she told me this snake lives under their home and that they like that he lives on their property. She said that he is a good snake. That he is not poisonous...

Do You Remember These ?

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52897) • United States 23 May

My husband and I were talking about foods that disappeared from the stores. These chips are one thing that I recalled loving. My husband didn’t recall them. I haven’t had any since the early 70’s and looked them up. Seems they...

I May Faint

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52897) • United States 12 May

I just tried my internet and it seems to be working. It’s a bit sluggish, but it has been in the past too sometimes. Hopefully it stays on. It has been off for over three weeks. We were losing hope. I am grateful.

Here is another photo of the West Virginia home. It was undoubtedly the worst room in the house. It was and will be our den. We have started working on it and it is really coming along. I don’t have an updated picture of it yet....

Back of Home

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52897) • United States 6 Mar

It’s been forever since I’ve done more than one post in a day. I thought I’d go on and show the back of the home. It is built into the ground , so from the front the upper floor is street level. We haven’t done much in the back,...
