Virginia
Well, we are back from our fine trip to Virginia, where we encountered snow, ice, good food, and nice people. I was in DC for business and Lindsay flew up to meet me last Thursday. From there we drove down to Lynchburg we had dinner with the Okimoto's. The food was very good and the conversation wonderful, but we had to leave much too soon due to the impending ice on the roads and our further travel south to Troutville where we spend the night.
On Saturday we traveled to Wytheville, Chilhowie, Saltville, Tannersville and back to Wytheville for the night. I am thoroughly in love with the area. You know you are in a beautiful place when it looks good in the winter. Saturday we traveled back to Saltville where we stumbled across this fine store:
We then made our way up to Floyd, which if you have been there you will know is one cool town. We had lunch at the local diner and then strolled the streets. Floyd county is amazingly pretty. That afternoon we went to the Chateau Morissette where we tasted some wines. We planned on staying for dinner, but did not want to risk the drove home on icy back country roads. So we went to Christiansburg where we went to see The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Sunday we made our way to Prospect which is near Farmville, directly between Lynchburg and Richmond. We had a wonderful brunch in downtown Farmville, which is also a great town. Afterwards we made our way up to Falls Church we spent the evening with family.
It's hard to get back into the groove of things back down here in Florida. I know that the Lord wants to teach me contentment and I am trying to yield to His loving hand.

You know you were very close to Groundhog Mountain at the winery. Next time stop by and say hello. If at any time you went north on the parkway from Fancy Gap you probably went over it.
My wife, whose favorite pastime is looking at real estate in the area will keep her eye out if you give her an idea of what your looking for.
We went through the same yearnings till we moved here. And this is where the Lord led us.
