My first time in the ocean

I'm coming to you live from Virginia City, VA. I have fallen in love with the ocean waves. I am thrilled to spend a whole week at the ocean and all of Virginia's history. VA is the mother of American history. Not only that, but my dad grew up on a naval base here. He took us to see the school he attended and the military house he used to live in. He mowed the yards there for .50 each front and back.

Here is the quilt I made for the Republican booth at the fair. I stayed up in the wee hours of the morning to finish it before we left for VA. They are going to raffle it to raise money.

I have not forgotten my trip to Philly, but my pics are on the computer at home. I will post them when I get back. This is my year for travel. I'm eating up experiences. Like today... we were looking for a Baptist church. We drove out into the country and finally found one. What I didn't notice was that there weren't any white people going in when I suggested it. I always wanted to experience a black church. :-D

We're going deep sea fishing and to the naval base tomorrow so hopefully I'll have more pics.

  1. The first four of our six presidents were from Virginia. There's a church somewhere in Virginia named Blue Stone Baptist Church where Dr. Ryan McGuire preaches but I don't know exactly where in Virginia. The church building he preaches in is old and historic. It used to be a Presbyterian church years ago.
