The Shelley and I found a new venue. @acebiscuitandbarbecue opened 11 years ago, but for us, it is new. This is a gem in Charlottesville, VA for amazing food. Everything is made from scratch (even the pickles). I had the "Ol' Dirty Biscuit" which is a fried chicken thigh on a homemade biscuit smothered in scratchmade sausage gravy, topped with smoked pimento cheese, a side of hash, and I washed it down with a Moscow Mule. I definitely recommend this establishment. Their customer service is exceptional. They close at 3pm, so you must get there before 3pm. #breakfast #brunch #lunch #food #eat #Charlottesville #charlottesville #virginia #restaurant (at Ace Biscuit & Barbecue) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYeXY_iLd4E/?utm_medium=tumblr

When you look up at the night sky, you are looking into the past. The oldest light you see is M31 also known as The Andromeda Galaxy. You can see it with the naked eye. It takes that light 2.5 Million years to reach the Earth. To look at the sky is to see back in time. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYdVnWaLz3X/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Shelley and I are still without power. There will be a lot of "extra" cuddling tonight by the fire. It is a good thing she has a collection of candles. We are surrounded by Cranberry Autumn Christmas candles. (at Louisa County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYSSfL4LIyz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had to dig out a place for the dog to use the bathroom. It was too deep for him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYRod13ry0L/?utm_medium=tumblr
