Can we say front moving through?

We had wind last night...wind that howled and hunted for cracks to sweep through.  Wind that blew leaves hither and yon.  It really felt like winter was moving in.  We had to run to Kroger this more, so as it was on the way, we ran through the strip pits.    The pic below is as we passed through the area, and the above is as we left.  In the above one the sun was just peeping out for a minute.

I am not sure I am ready for this...but I know I have no choice.  I would not mind if I didn't have to get out in it except when I wanted to.  

With us for Veteran's Day

Lorelei has tomorrow off in observance of Veteran's Day....she is here for the night and will spend tomorrow with us.

She said they had veterans visit their school today.  When I was a kid, I had no comprehension of what our veterans had done for us.  Not when I was her age.  Not until I was a lot older.  Anyway, she was not sure if there was a Marine there or not...that was the branch Roger was in.

I am so thankful for these brave men...and women.  Who knows where we would be if not for them? 

Another year of The Voice

I don't know about you, but we do enjoy watching The Voice....and this year looks like another good year.  We really enjoyed tonight's contestants...just have to share a couple of the songs/contestants.  The first I am going to share with you is this:

Braiden just turned 15!  This song is an old favorite...I remember when it was popular on the radio...I am not crazy about certain things about how he sang it, but I still got chills down my arms.  He has such a great voice.

Then there is this one:

Jordan Smith is from near my part of the country....he is from Harlan, Kentucky.  I cannot listen without tears...I liked it by Beyonce, but oh, there is something magical about this.   And if you look up the rest of the songs he has sang, you won't be disappointed.
