This is the Little River Canyon. We drove all along it today, and even stopped at a glass blowing place in the middle of nowhere.

This is Russell Cave. It was a home to Native Americans. The water comes up out of a spring. It was so beautiful, peaceful, lush.... and I could imagine children playing below long long ago.

So we decided to rent a cabin in the NE part of the state for a few days. On the drive up, we stopped in Anniston, Alabama, where a monument to the Freedom Riders was painted on the wall next to the old bus stop. It was a shocking story to learn about.

Another craft I'm working on is beeswax candles. Here I am attempting to pour it on this piece of shelf paper so I can make a sheet to roll up into a candle.

We are staying at the J's apartment while they work on their new house. I'm spending the days with Baby J while they all go work on ceilings and walls. I got the better end of the deal, for sure!

I can' t let too much time go by without seeing my grandson. We are on our way to Colorado.

Oh how I miss this little guy, and love FaceTiming with him.

We drove to Charlottesville today to meet up with my old best friends there, M and K. We spent the afternoon at M's house and then drove into C'ville for Bodo's Bagels. We parked right near the school where I used to teach, which was wierd.

This is my cousin. I found him on 23&Me and we started chatting via email, and then Zoom.. and today we met for dinner in Richmond! He and his wife live in Virginia Beach but they drove to Richmond to meet us. Very cool.

Dan and I are on a trip. First we stopped in Hilton Head to visit with his sister and her family. They rented a house. I brought my accreditation work with me and set up shop in the kitchen table to work on it. We also enjoyed the beach!
