HillBilly Heaven III (WV Avalanches)

GOOD MORNING to all us Hillbillies!!  (that are at home instead of MCM!)  It looks like we missed a great weekend.  But that's okay, there will be others!  :love:

Check out page 8A of your Sunday Gazzette!  There would be Connor, in the FULL COLOR AD!  LOL  Hhmmm, I wonder if I can talk my neighbor into a billboard??    >:D

I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy!

Mrs Bubba :B:
 
hardy, har, har, har!  :p

Just talked to Melissa! They are on the way home!  Had a great time, in spite of the off and on rain showers!  Can't wait to see all the photos and hear all about it!

Mrs Bubba :B:
 
We're home we had a great time, but truly missed all our WV AV family. :needhug: It rained a lot but held off for all the major events... except drag racing. EQ and Trav truly out did themselves. Here are some pictures if you want to take a look.

I still haven't seen Connor"s commercial. :E: I guess I better be watching some TV before we have to leave. Speaking of leaving.. if we don't leave tomorrow maybe we can meet and do lunch or dinner. I really meant to do that today and just didn't get around to it. :-[

Mrs WVAV
 
Great pictures Mrs WVAV. (y)
Especially the ones of my truck - it actually looks clean.  ;D

We dropped off 12 rolls of film this morning.
No, I have not yet moved into the 21st century.  :-[
We have digital, just don't use it too much.

Your truck WAS clean!!! :beating: Just look at it this way... no matter how "dirty" your truck gets it will always be cleaner then the rest of ours. ;)

Mrs WVAV
 
The Bubba's have done it again!  :rolleyes:
I was watching the 11pm news last night on WSAZ when Taney called and I muted the TV... next thing I know I look up at the TV to see Bubba and Mrs. B standing there! :eek: I don't know how the do it but, I think I see them on TV more then I do in person. ;)
I didn't hear the whole interview so I'm not sure exactly what happened. I think they were saying money is "missing" from Bub Jr's schools PTO. It's pretty bad when someone would take money from kids. :( Hopefully they will figure it all out soon.

Mrs WVAV
 
Yes!  That was us!!  WiseAV called and asked, "Is there ever going to be a 2 week span where I DON'T see one of the Bubba's on TV?"  LOL  The sad part is, yes, there is PTO money missing, about $20,000. We don't have the exact figures, it could be more.  It's a HUGE mess and I am not really sure how much I can say on a public forum.  I would "hate" to be charged with defimation of character! (said with great sarcasm)  All I can say is this lady is a work of art....gosh, I'm not even sure I can call her a lady at this point.  Needless to say, I hope the Witch gets all that she deserves!!!  I have the news clip on the DVR. I think my quote was something along the lines of.....we try to teach our kids right from wrong and to support the school.  Some of these kids gave money from their own piggy banks to support these fundraisers and now it's gone.  Essencially, she has stolen this money from our kids, and that's just wrong.  (or something to that affect!)

Bubba is off Sat and Sun.  Anyone hungery??
 
Taney is coming  home late tonight and then we're leaving tomorrow evening for Savannah. I'm sure we'll be hungry before we leave. Maybe we could just stop and eat as we come through tomorrow.

But STI V isn't for another three months.
It shouldn't take you that long to get there.  >:D
 
Hey ya'll.  The trAVeling family will be passing through WV next weekend.  I grew up in Cottle, WV (between Richwood and Summersville) and decided to let the kids see where daddy used to live.  We will be returning from Washington, D.C. through WV on Sunday, July 29th staying in Summersville for the night and heading home to Nashville on Monday, July 30th.  I have explained to the kids the New River Gorge bridge, but they won't grasp the concept of how incredible it is until they actually see it.  I was priviledged to get to watch them build that piece of art.

STI V would be SO much fun... I'd love to go! Sadly we will be delivering paper products to Savannah this weekend.... and I guarantee that isn't going to be nearly as fun. :(

The New River Gorge Bridge is incredible trAV. We've crossed it twice on GTG's. One time one of the members stayed and took pictures from the overlook as the AV's crossed it.  I'm sure that picture is floating around somewhere here I'll try to find it. It was a awesome site to see.

Mrs WVAV
 
Just poking around and found you all, I am up that way about 3 or 4 times a year, maybe more depending on aging parents health. Can you all send me an email/PM  from time to time leting me know of any GTG's? I would liike to stop in on one if thats ok and of course if I am up that way.
I stay in Fairfax VA and don't mind a few hours ride.

thanks from FL
 
Here is the picture of the AV's crossing the new river Gorge Bridge a few years ago.

Hey sk8deck! :wave: We always love meeting new members and would love to have you join us on a GTG. Fairfax Va would be a little more then a few hours from us though. It's over 300 miles from Charleston actually. :( If you don't mind the drive we'd love to meet you sometime.

Now that picture brings back childhood memories from a very, very long time ago.  Thanks!!

Well then, I may just have to take the back way into Fairfax and see you all first. Sounds like a plan, just let me know.

Thanks
 
The hillbillies are eating again!

Tonight... July 29th at 6:30
IHOP in Barboursville at the Huntington Mall.

If anyone reads this and can make it we'd love to have you join us. :wave:

Mrs WVAV
 
Dog gone!
Missed it.
Besides, we had baby Danica's 1st birthday party this afternoon.
I'll get the pics resized and posted this week.  She went cake diving and enjoyed it.
I also have a couple of pics from the last GTG at Southridge earlier this month.

Happy Birthday to Danica! Nothing like the 1st birthday cake dive... those are memories that will last a life time. :love: I can't wait to see the pictures.

Mrs WVAV
 
I know Taney was telling a few of you over the weekend, about us driving into a cave in Independence MO to pickup a loaded trailer last week. Here are 2 pictures that I took... they aren't great though.
It is always an experience when you have to drive a semi truck with a 53 foot trailer into those caves. :rolleyes:

Those are cool photos!  It would be wierd though.  I know we drive through tunnels here, but that's different.  At least there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANICA!!!!!!  (sorry we are late!)  :love:

Steak and Shake opened today at Barboursville.  (y)

Porkers BBQ Teays Valley is opening Wednesday!!    :woohoo:

Didn't have to work today!  (y)  Her car went into the shop.  (n)  Not sure if I have to work tomorrow.  :dunno:
 
I saw where Steak and Shake opened today. If we knew you weren't working we could have went for dinner. The news said the owner plans to open 10 more around here in the next 3 years. :eek:

Whats wrong with the Mamamobile... hope it's nothing to bad.

I guess we'll be going back to work tomorrow. :C: :needhug:

Mrs WVAV
 
Sorry, my Mamamobile is fine!  It was her car that went to Burt Wolfe!  I guess I better call and see if she needs me tomorrow.  It sounds like she is having trouble with the Transmission.....jerking while driving and her DH said when he put it in park, it rolled and he had to brake and go back to nuetral and back to park.  YIKES.  It's a Toyota! I hope it won't be a lot to fix!

As for dinner.... I have been so busy today, I probably would have declined anyway.  Mowed grass, scrubbed toilets, swept floors,  laundry, etc.  I took full advantage of not going to work today. 

Let us know when you get back into town!  We'll eat then for sure!
