Yanceyville Mill, Virginia





Hey friends. Wow, I am sharing this several weeks after we went for a drive, and I have sadly run out of posts, so I thought I would share this event with ya, staying at home 24/7 is nuts ...my hubby is working from home. Amazing how noises that might have been annoying in the past, are now just comforting to hear something, anything ...just to know there is someone else out there??! Dog, people, any one beside you and your hubby, who are the only folks you are seeing on the daily??! So we had gotten in a somewhat normal (if you can call it normal, what is normal, anyways?) routine, working from home, sleeping, eating, trying to get some entertainment other than the silly news, we have been watching Northern Exposure, been meaning to watch that series, it was high time to do so ... we wanted to see something new/different, other than those four walls (you know, your house walls, LOL!!) so we jumped into Luigi (my Fiat 500) and took a drive in the country. Saw this beauty, Yanceyville Mill, VA, no real website for visiting the mill, still researching, i can see they are trying to restore it, maybe??! ... and then we stopped off at Popeye's for chicken. Are you a fried chicken fan? It was so nice just to get out. Hope you are well. THANK YOU, for stopping by. Tell me what are you up to lately? Shopping? Online shopping? Bird Watching? Writing letters or emails to friends? Movies? Popcorn? Cleaning? Organizing? Baking? Cooking? Go on leave me a comment. Beth ( ;

Hello Beth,

Love the old mill, they are always located in a pretty spot.
We do go out for our walks, to the food stores. I do a little baking, not too much. Baked goods tend to be bad for me and my hubby. I use my kindle and reading lots of books. I have binged watched some shows on Netflix and Prime. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!

I hear you. The new normal is unreal. While we are retired, I used to enjoy sending hubby on errands to get some peace and quiet. He's getting tired, though. He's no spring chicken.

Hi Beth, Pretty pictures from your drive. We are much the same.....we walk the dog, we take a drive, listen to music. I am cooking most of our meals at home, just trying to be safe and healthy. Take good care and have a nice week. ME

Interesting old mill. I spend way too much time on social media, and have trouble feeling motivated since so many places are closed. We do go for rides, however, and often the scenery is beautiful.

I LOVED Northern exposure;I'd forgotten about that show.
I'm so happy you were able to get out for a drive...good for you guys.
Being together for a long time can be overwhelming, but we will all get through it. Missed hearing from you

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
