We are sitting here in the rain in a park not far from Lynchburg, Va.
We didn't think Hannah would come this far inland, but she did. Lots of rain, which they need, but not too much wind. We decided to stay here just in case Hanna fooled us, and she did. We are going to Newport News, Va. then on down the coast before heading west back to the Houston area.
Monnie, Barbara, Brenda & I went to Poplar Forrest Yesterday. This was the summer home of Thomas Jefferson. We have not seen Monticello as of yet, but after seeing this house we really want to see it. This house is a small version of Monticello. Jefferson liked symmetry and octagonal shaped homes.
The house was privately owned up until 1984 when a foundation got it and began the restoration back to Jefferson's time. It is a work in progress.
We had dinner with our friends, and they had invited Ken & Pat, their neighbors from down the street, to have desert with us. Ken & Pat were kind enough to allow us to park our travel trailer in their driveway when we were here 2 years ago. It was so nice to see them again.
Well, it looks like we are socked in for the day with rain. The radar shows the eye of the storm is still in NC. So it looks like we will just sit inside, enjoy the much needed rain and read.
Ta ta for now
