While I'd love the title of this blog post to read "Back to Normal," the fact of the matter is
At least today I offer a few
For goodness sakes.
The adorable barn above lives creekside in Onemo and used to be what the Chesapeake Bay Family called The Kayak Place. Son and Daughter went to a kayak camp there one summer many moons ago.
I attribute that day camp to their love of the canoe and kayak to this day.
Next up we have a barn that lives on the side of Route 198 in Hudgins, close to where I live. I pass this barn
The flag painted on the barn and the adorable birdhouse perched high atop that pole overlook a gorgeous, flourishing garden.
This corn-crib-looking structure lives down Onemo, not far from the barn in the first picture.

Onemo, for those who don't know, is pronounced oh-NEE-moe. According to local legend, the name came about because the residents felt they needed One Mo post office.
That One Mo post office is still in operation today.
Onemo is a fantastic place to jog for miles upon miles upon miles without seeing a single
You will, however, see many fiddler crabs.

Thank you for your patience.
Have a fantastic weekend.

You and yours will have a great weekend, I hope. I loved little 'water paradise Tangier' and I think your photos and poems should go into a little Tangier booklet--or, if you are ambitious, send that in to a travel magazine or newspaper travel section ("Hello, NY Times travel editor ? I am a published writer from a coastal VA community..." )
Now you have gone and gotten me smitten and intrigued by Onemo...I am a sucker for old barns... ready to move across country and take up residence in that ex-kayak center barn if it's empty....

Hope you have a great weekend too.
Glad to see you are shooting pictures in Mathews again. Home is where the heart is. Love the barn pics.
I am going to have a great weekend because I get to hang out with YOU!! As usual, my stomach will hurt from laughing, but it's a small price to pay:)
Now, if we can just figure out where we can steal, um, borrow a convertible...
Love the barn pics!
Have a wonderful weekend!
LLC-I'm glad you like the Tangier stuff. I loved being there and encourage anyone who has the ability to make a trip to see it. Thanks for the ideas...the NY Times travel editor would probably use my stuff for kindling (although he probably has a gas fireplace). But thank you for the idea - I like the idea of compiling the photos into something, just not sure what.
JP-You too, don't work too much overtime. There's no fun in overtime.
BHE-CAN'T WAIT! West Point here we come. And I think we can get that convertible, it's my new goal!
Deborah-Thanks, you have a great one too.
Another busy day ahead but it will conclude with lots of FUN as I am headed over to West Point to hang out with my first blog friend, Big Hair Envy, and a few other great people. I love Friday nights.
Hope yours is fun as well. - cbw
When I read what BHE wrote about getting a convertible for your adventures, I immediately thought of Thelma and Louise! You two have fun!

Sounds like how Salvo on the Outer Banks got named. I know you were down around those parts recently, and that's what made me think of it.
