How Do You Lean

I found this website while surfing people's blogs. The following graphic shows how I scored and it totally reflects where my political opinion lies when I choose to have an opinion on politics.




You can take the quiz yourself if you so choose at the following website:

Anyway, no point to this post. I just thought the quiz was interesting.

After some snow we got on 11/23.

This is a snow storm we got on 12/2. All it ever does here is snow if you haven't noticed.

Bailey's snow beard.

This is a picture I took this morning. Snow, snow, snow.

So Excited for Myself

I completed my registration at CCV and will start classes on January 23rd. I found out on Thursday that I only have 9 classes to go to get my A.A. which is only three more semesters. I'll be done around this time next year, right before we're due to move again. I can't believe it! I didn't realize I was so close. The classes I'm going to register for this semester are Intro to Psychology, Art Appreciation, and The Vampire in Literature, Culture, and Film. I'm so excited and can't wait to get started. After the blah classes I was required to take at UOP, these will make for a nice change of pace. Woohoo!!

Also in the news...I got pulled over by the police for the first time on Thursday. I was so completely nervous, lol. Anyway, Vermont requires a yearly vehicle inspection and our sticker wasn't valid because it was issued in New Hampshire where we bought the 4Runner. We knew that and everything, but just hadn't gotten around to taking it for an inspection here in Vermont. Luckily, he let me go without a ticket and I went out that day and got the inspection, heheheh.

We had a really nice Thanksgiving, thanks for asking. It was just a quiet, normal, family dinner for us this year. No driving for 15 hours, no alcoholic Marines, and no arguments. Can't ask for more than that.

I have most of our Christmas decorations up. There's just one more window I need to do but I ran out of suction cups. We don't have our tree yet either because we get live ones now. We'll probably get it in the next week or so.

Well, that's that for now.

Random Picture

This is just a picture I took when we were driving up to Williston along I-89. I thought it looked nice. 

Bailey's first Halloween. She wasn't too happy about it, lol.

Camel's Hump Mountain. This was taken a few days after the storm. If you'll notice, the top of the mountain still had snow on it.

Bailey checking out the snow. This is at the beginning of the storm when we only had a couple inches.

Mini Covered Bridge Tour

The following are pictures that we took of covered bridges in the area. All of these are located in Chelsea and Tunbridge, Vermont. All of them were about an hours drive from our house and they were all within miles of each other. This is just a small sample of the covered bridges in New England. Mill Bridge was rebuilt a few years ago after an ice flow washed the original away. All the others are the original bridges. It was a pretty neat day. Oh, and they all also cross the same river, White River.

This is Moxley Bridge and White River which runs beneath it. It was built in 1883.

This is Flint Bridge. It was built in 1845.

This is Larkin Bridge. It was built in 1902.

This is Mill Bridge and the river and dam beneath it.It was built in 1883.

This is Cilley Bridge and the surrounding scenery. It was built in 1883.

This is Howe Bridge.

Another fog picture from this morning.

Here's another fog picture. I took this one just this morning.
