Lexington town , a few minutes from Craig and Jill's home in Buena Vista, is home to Washington and Lee University. Part of our weekend celebrating the 4th of July, we spent learning more about the South, the Civil War, Democracy, and our continued love of family and our freedoms.
The Blue Ridge mountains are the skyline that surrounds the beautiful campus of Southern Virginia University, where Craig and Jill's family live and work. We got a chance to visit, play, and of course, eat, with Dallas, Chelsea, Candace and Craig and Jill and all their extended loved ones ( including Candace's dog!)
We stopped in Charlottesville to see Candace off before she goes to Bermuda, with her new Au Pair job. Tough Life!
We took a lot of photos, sadly, my photos of the grandkids didnt turn out. Spending time with family is a great way the hasten end of our work here in the East. We have had so many wonderful Historical side trips. This area of middle Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia are some of the finest in America, the Blue Mountains covered with rich green, rivers, and creeks make for great memories.
Before we left we taught Institute at Penn and I was reminded of how much I love to teach. In the preparation I learn so much more. And serving the Young Single Adults is always a joy. HAPPY family celebrations and LOVE of our country, even now, as things in America are not as great as I pray for.
