Our visit to Almost Heaven...

Darryl and I flew to Charleston West Virginia to visit with Mom last week.  This first picture is a little gift I got for her, which she and I thought was very funny, but the humor is a bit lost on everyone else.  haha...

We took Mom on a nice long car ride to Seneca Rocks.  Here are some pictures I took along the way on that long winding road through the mountains.



This is Seneca Rocks, which we did not climb, we just admired from a distance.

These next few pictures are from the BBQ restaurant we stopped at on the way back.  It was called Smoke on the Water.

I deliberately took this one from a longer distance away because Mom is still recovering from Bell's Palsy.

Darryl and I drove out to Rock Cave to see Mom and Dad's old farm, which in its day was just stunning, but now it is vacant and run down.  Very sad.



We stopped at the Elk farm.

Cool bird houses at Mom's house.

On the way back to the airport we drove around Charleston, and there wasn't much to see.  A lot of it was pretty slummy.  But we did get to see the Capitol building which was cool looking.

I'm not sure when I'll ever want to fly again.  The world is a very bad place right now, between the unconstitutional mask mandate and now all the poison jab requirements.  We have a cruise booked for next year.  Pretty much doubt that will happen.  I am not letting anyone jab me. Nope.  And I don't want to be wearing a mask on vacation...EVER.  

With how the world is now, I'm half expecting Jesus to come any day now.  
Where are You, Jesus?  I would think You'd be here real soon.

Art Prize 2021

Art Prize happened this year. Darryl and I decided to get out of the house and go there. It was fun. We split a burrito from one of the food trucks and then we went to get ice cream. We walked around Grand Rapids and then came home to spend our last day (probably) in a nice warm pool. Ryan and Shauna came over to enjoy the pool, and then we had dinner. Fun day. Oh, except for the banged up fence. oopsy...
