A B-Day Gift from Roy

Wake County Water Tower #3

Knightdale. NC.

This water tower is located off the new Highway 64 By-Pass.














My buddy Roy, at work, thought to stop and take a picture of it while hunting down illegal dumpers.

If I remember correctly there is also an elk head painted on one side of this tower. Thanks for sending the picture Aunt Sue!

This summer Owen wore the Can Guy costume and threw out the first pitch at a AA Carolina Mudcat baseball game.

The Ugliest Dog

Q-Tip is a contestant in a local newspaper's ugliest dog contest. His picture is the top right. He looks much better now that his hair has been cut and his eye goop is cleaned up. Hopefully he will win and get to spend $50 at Pet Smart.

My blogger mentor

My friend Casey, from NE where I grew up, took this water tower picture for me.

Drive to baby shower

Colonial Heights. VA.

On our way to Emily's Baby Shower in Columbia, MD we stopped at this exit in VA to get gas, a root beer and chewy runts.
















Chesterfield County. VA.

This picture was taken last year. On this trip to Maryland the water tower remained but the RAMAAD (misspelled RAMADA) hotel sign had been taken down.



Emily got lots of help opening her presents from her sister in-law's niece. She was also very diligent about throwing all the wrapping paper away in Mo's trash bag.












Washington. DC.

We saw this water tower on I-495 going around DC on our return trip home.










Richmond. VA.

1 - This water tower was in historic downtown Richmond near the canal.
















There was a beautiful canal walk near the flood wall.



















2 - Sonoco is a paper recycling end market. We ran across their facility on a back road in Richmond.


















3 - Philip Morris is headquartered in Richmond. I unfortunately cut off the top of this Lucky Strike water tower picture.
