Colonial Gardens

 Colonial Gardens is a local garden center in Phoenixville, PA that hosts a Haunted Gardens, Pumpkin Land and Hay Rides.  There is something fun to do for both kids and adults.  This year my husband was hired to take pictures of the Haunted House.  These pictures made the brochure Colonial Gardens used as an advertisement.

I'm a little late getting this posted... but thought the pictures were too cool not to share.

What Would You Do? (part 2)

This is what I did......

Took $150.00 to the bank.

Bought $150.00 worth of Pennies.

Unwrapped them and put them in containers.

and paid my bill with 15,000 pennies.

What Would You Do?

What you would do if...


1.  You had a company perform a service, the invoice they provided was billed as $0.00.


2.   The company is owned by your step-father (of 30+ years) and you worked for him for 15 years as his office manager.


3.  You talk to the technician (who is your nephew) to tell him you still have the same issues and need him to return.  He tells you that step-father reprimanded him for spending "too much time" on the job and is not allowed to return.


4.  When your mother returns from vacation she finds a letter from step-father saying he is leaving her.


4.  You got a revised invoice in the mail for $150.00


5.  You are getting emails from the step-father stating if you don't pay, you will be taken to small claims court.

My husband the Photographer!

My husband is into photography. He has taken a few classes regarding portrait pictures.  He wanted to try out the some settings on his camera he never used before.  So I was his guinea pig.  

Tami & Teddy

The pictures were taken in our backyard with our dogs.

 Eventually my husband would like to take pictures as a career instead of a hobby. He has a great eye for taking pictures and is beginning to get creative.  The majority of the pictures on my blog were taken by him.  My favorite are the hockey pictures he takes of our son!

Corolla Wild Horses

One of the best things we did on vacation was take a jeep adventure on the Corolla beach in the Outer Banks, North Carolina.  

I got to drive the jeep!

 SO COOL!  

Outer Banks Spanish Mustang Horses (Banker Ponies)

We had to drive quite a few miles on the beach to see the horses.  It was a remote area on the beach.  The residents who live on the beach have no roads to get to their homes.  They have to take the same trek on the beach.  You could see the cable wires laying on the beach so the people could get electricity.

I wonder how many trips they take to the grocery store?

The wild horses were gorgeous.  It was amazing to see them grazing among the beach homes.  I was in awe of the beauty of it all.  I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to go on a great vacation!

Williamsburg Winery

During the summer we took a tour of The Williamsburg Winery.   This winery began in the 1600's when Jamestown was founded.  400 years later, the winery is thriving on 320 acres of beautiful rolling hills in Virginia.

It was as if I died and went to heaven surrounded by bottles and barrels of wine!

Heather & Tami

We sampled and compared some of the wines produced at the winery and got to take home an oversized etched reserve wine glass to remember our tour.
