I have not posted a blog post in sometime. A week ago we arrived in Virginia Beach in the very late afternoon and spent mother’s day weekend visiting my husband’s mother and family there. On mother’s day morning my wish was to walk along the beach for awhile before going to visit the family. Here are some photo’s of that 
morning. I am not a beach person – I do not swim – never learned. But I do enjoy walking along the water with my pants rolled up and looking at all the activity.
This photo on the left is of a man “para-gliding” I believe that is the term for it. It was a very windy day and Mike caught him lifting up out of the water several times. It does look like fun doesn’t it – but I know I would never get up the nerve because of my “fear” of the water.
The photo on the right is of a children’s playground right there on the beach — what child wouldn’t love playing in that. I thought it was very unique with the ship and sail.
This final picture is of me relaxing with the wind messing up my hair — it was actually chilly that morning only about 60 and with the 
wind it felt colder. Yes I am back to dyeing my hair 
I couldn’t stand it any longer. After six months I had completely grown it out and I felt old, drab, and not happy with it!! So it is back to a reddish brown for me – not my originally dark brown but there you go!!
I have no photo’s of the Shenandoah National Park to show today, Mike is working on them and I will try to post some before we leave here. Here being Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia. We arrived early afternoon and I spent an afternoon of doing laundry – housework never leaves us does it. After that was done we we down to the historic district and walked around and enjoyed the sites. For those of you in Arkansas and maybe others who have seen Eureka Springs in Northern Arkansas – Harper’s Ferry is very similiar in that the town is built into the sides of cliffs – skinny narrow houses, a lot of them made out of rock.
I have not see any quilt shops so far on this trip but yesterday it was raining on our last day in the Shenandoah Park. I needed to refill prescriptions and we drove to Harrisburg, VA for that (Wal-Mart comes in handy for prescriptions while traveling). We saw the movie “Star Trek” and also came across a small quilt museum that had applique quilts on display. They do not allow pictures. You all would have loved seeing them. There are old quilts there and the applique quilts were new ones. Beautiful!!!! http://vaquiltmuseum.org/
