Déjà vu

Déjà vu is a glitch in the Matrix. I had a few of those today. After having a bagel that was toasted twice, once in the side that didn’t work, then in the side that did (honestly, just put a sign on the toaster or go buy a new one already.) I took off to see our old neighborhood.

We used to live on the Chesapeake Bay on a very well used road. Joggers run and people walk their dogs all the time on this road. It’s a gorgeous view of the water and if you look close enough you can see the Naval Base across the Bay.

We moved out of this house in December 2004. What’s that, almost 4 years? Nothing has really happened to this house since then. It looks like they ripped out the adjoining apartment and the sunroom that was off of the master bedroom down to the studs, now they are rebuilding. I think they put a new roof on it, we cannot tell with the pictures. They ripped out the a/c unit that was built into the master bedroom and never fixed the siding. The porch hasn’t changed, if anything it looks more worn out. No one is living there, if they are it’s with HUGE holes in the screens and no furniture in the house. Supposedly they were fixing it up while the owners were living there. Anyway, it was weird to see the house again. We lived there for 6 years, that’s a long time to be in one house in the military.

I took some photos on the roads that surround the area. I was shocked to see 14 houses with “for sale” signs within a two block radius.

I went to Langley Air Force Base to get some more photos. The gate guard said that I couldn’t, but I could if I didn’t get caught. Hm. Should I try? Yup, sure did. That’s what zooms are for. :grin:

I looked around the bx but didn’t buy anything. I did drive around the base to see how much it’s changed, it’s changed a lot!

I called up my friend Karen and I drove over to her house to take her and her daughter to a local place for lunch. We visited and ate and then went back to her house for a while. I took some great photos in her yard and of her pregnant daughter in law.

Tomorrow I’m off to Bluebird Gap Farm, which is a place we took our kids growing up. I want to get some photos of the animals and then I’m not sure what I’m going to do. Maybe shop at the mall up in Newport News. I won’t have a hotel to go back to as we leave tomorrow afternoon to drive back home.

All photos will be up on Flickr sometime this weekend, so look for them, okay?

Thanks for reading! :)
