Heading To BIG STONE GAP, VA!!!


DH is the best! We are going to Wise, Virginia for his nephew, Josh's, college graduation. DH grew up in Clintwood, Wise, Haysi, etc. All of these towns are mentioned in the BIG STONE GAP series by Adriana Trigiani. This is a series I have on my keeper shelf, that's how much I adore them. We could have stayed in any of those towns, but DH made reservations in Big Stone Gap! He promised to let me get digital moments in front of as many locales from the books as we can find, especially in front of as many Big Stone Gap signs as I can plant myself in front of.
See you when we get back!

Please, take picture with the Southern Reading Challenge in mind, too. We do a sense of place contest and your photos might just win an autographed book! :D

That's neat! Take plenty of pictures. BTW, Lady K is getting so big - she's adorable.

Thank you for the Lady K compliment. She's so funny.

Oooh, if you see the book mobile, get a pic!! I loved reading that series. I've kept them all, as well.

Mary: I will get the pic of the bookmobile if it's there and the drugstore and every other place I can think of. = )
