Surprise!!

                                                      My birthday was Jan. 6th.

My daughter, Susan, called from New York to say she was flying down to Richmond to help me celebrate. I was to choose where I wanted to eat, stay and what to do.

Daughter Shirley and I drove to the airport to pick her up. But, then we didn't head to downtown Richmond!!

                                       Shirley headed WEST.... and drove and drove.

      We got to Charlottesville... still driving... over Afton Mt. , through Waynesboro and on.


Where are these girls taking me?

                     We come to an overlook and stop to take in the view. It is Windy! and Cold!


               We are in the mountains and it is getting what my Mother called "Dusky Dark".

   We have passed lots of farms, barns, a couple wide places in the road, but no towns to speak of.


 The road is winding and narrow. 


We climb up and up and then there before us is this huge building on the side of a mountain. The sign says "Homestead Resort".


My golly gumdrops!! What a surprise. I loved it.

More of this adventure to come.
Stay tuned.
