We had a great time in Fayetteville, West Virginia the past few days even though it rained every day. We remarked while driving there about how lush and green all the trees were…notice I only mentioned trees as that’s about all you’d see in the mountains…but that didn’t stop us from having fun. We did see the New River Gorge Bridge and it was really high and impressive. You can walk across it but you have to make a reservation, be harnessed in, takes about three hours, and is not my cup of tea since heights and I don’t mix…especially with the rain. The white water rafting looked fun but there again…been there done that and this old body said “whatever are you thinking”? We tried to walk a trail that was recommended to us but it was closed. Whoever heard of a trail only open from Friday – Sunday? We went to some really remote little towns…again recommended…and met some really nice people, ate some good food, and looked through some antique and folk art stores. It was a quick trip and we left home with no agenda or reservations…a fun way to travel because there will be no disappointments as there are no expectations. Glad George suggested this get-away adventure and thankful we’re at this stage of life where you can just get up and go.
All the school kids…except Jerod, Meredith, and Kyle…are back in the classroom and I pray each one will have a great year, learn a lot, and cherish the friends and memories being made. The three college kids start classes this coming Monday…Meredith is already at LU and doing all the freshman stuff while getting settled into campus life and the big city of Nashville.
Guess that’s about it for now. Have a great rest-of-the-week and love to you all.
Blessings….
