Around the Valley 02.02.2023

Happy Thursday! We hope you are having a great week. January seemed like the longest month ever. We're hoping the groundhog doesn't see his shadow today. I know many look forward to the snow, but I'm ready for spring and all the beautiful new flowers blooming. I'm so excited for spring that I went ahead and booked our trip to the gulf coast hoping that would speed up the next few months. I'm feeling much better this week. I was having a hemorrhage in my brain which was causing my illness but my Neurosurgeon feels the symptoms are behind me for this go around. Woo-hoo! My husband must be having a mid-life crisis because he came home with a new sports car last week. Then when I picked my 16 year old son up from the Blacksburg vs Salem Basketball game Friday, he informed me that I no longer had the fastest car in the family. I told him that I really didn't want to know how he knew that.
