Busy Busy Day

It's a busy day here in Sylva!! The sun is shining, the temperature is rising, and Stuart and I are running around like crazy to get everything done today.
Yesterday, we spent the majority of our time packing up his apartment in Balsam then unloading his belongings into our Sylva home! It was hard, hot work!! And thankfully, Stuart's friend pitched in with the bigger furniture. All that's left is his queen-sized bed and giant TV! That will not happen today, however. Today is full of other things!!

Movie Minute: Fireworks Finale at Lake Junaluska, NC

This was unbelievable!! The fireworks exploded over the lake, and we had an amazing seat!!!! The Lake Junaluska team really put some effort into this with the show starting just after 9:45 p.m. and lasting around 20 minutes! Happy Fourth of July!

Movie Minute: Howling with the Dog

This is how I spend my time while pet sitting!! This is Rose, and she is the sweetest little dog! But, she's got a big attitude!! And, she wants a treat!

Kodak Moment: Around Western Carolina

Here are some photos I've been taking for the daily weather forecast I post on The Western Carolinian's Facebook page!! I love posting the photos. One photo got shared by the WCU Alumni - Greater Knoxville Chapter and commented on by the Hampton Inn & Suites in Cashiers/Sapphire Valley. I thought that was pretty nifty!

Movie Minute: Sunrise at the Outer Banks

I took this in Duck, North Carolina in 2010. I purposefully woke up before 5:30 a.m. to make sure I got to see it on our last day there. In July, we're going back, and I hope the trips turns out well.

Movie Minute: An Investigating Kitty

Here's a great video of Sparta showing off his mousing skills in the first Cullowhee apartment back in 2010. I'm missing my kitty right now, but I know Stuart's taking good care of him. According to Stuart, "Your kitty is loud in the morning! He knocked my glasses off on purpose and was batting at that thing hanging from your door knob! He also barfed at 5 a.m. And then was coughing after that!"

Photo of the Day: June 28

I'm in Greensboro for a few days, and it's sunny with a heat wave coming through this weekend. I have the most adorable beagle pups to look after, and I'm thankful for the job!
Speaking of road trips, here's a photo I took a few years ago of a school bus towing a Chevy truck! Always have your camera ready when on a road trip... you never know what you're going to see before you even get to your destination.
