It is dark and the trailer is on the edge of a hill in a parking lot of an apple farm. It is very dark, it is cold out, it is windy and I am warm and comfortable. But very tired. Sleep is still spotty and insufficient for the day. But possibly improving? Not sure, but not worse.
Rusty and Janet and I left the church parking lot about 9:30, it took me a while to compose myself leaving the cemetery. We drove the beautiful route 231 and enjoyed a brief walk in the village of Sperryville. Then over the Blue Ridge to Luray. I first visited the caverns with Cindy when she was in college. We have been back one or two times but maybe 40 years ago for the last visit. It was ok, nice paved walking surface, no garish lights like I remember and some impressive formations. The on to the New Market Civil War battlefield park that involved the cadets of VMI in 1864. The movie in the VC was well done. We will go back in the morning as we ran out of time for the tour. We found our way to the Host site and then, after dinner, I took them to see Eastern Mennonite University when both Geof and I graduated, he in math, me with an MA in Congregational Leadership. And finally some ice cream at Kleins.
Good day over all. I made no major mistakes in the trailer, got a shower, fixed lunch and dinner and made coffee. Let’s see if we can do two in a row.
