Even though it's always hard to leave John & Judy's wonderful hospitality (and good food!) we had places to go and people to see. Goodbye New Jersey! Goodbye Pennsylvania! Goodbye Maryland! Goodbye West Virginia! (We think Terry was awake for at least two of those states..)Then came Virginia. Always thinking of food, two weeks ago John had decided that Staunton looked like the place to head for, for lunch. If you are as old as we are, you might remember the ads for the Staunton Military Academy that claimed to "turn boys into men". (They apparently gave up in the 1970's.) Taking the exit we began to recognize places from our past. "Isn't that the gas station where the VW wouldn't start?" "Isn't that the auto parts place where we got a new battery for the VW?" "Isn't that the place where we spent the night while the VW got fixed?" However, today, as opposed to when we were in the VW, we actually made it into downtown Staunton. And we were there for lunch. When we were in the VW we had only hoped to make it that far by evening. What a difference a couple of years (and another vehicle) makes!
Tonight we're in North Carolina with friends Vicki & George. George is posing in the new "Doo Rag" he got free with a bottle of gin. (If you're like me and didn't know what that was, you can look it up.) Also, my apologies to Vicki who's a professional photographer. This snap obviously doesn't do justice to any of them but I blame it on my camera.Our sights are on Joe and Florida for tomorrow night.
