In early October, we also took a trip to Breaks Interstate Park, which is on the border of Kentucky and Virginia. The former pastor and his wife invited us along to the restaurant at the park. It was a nice outing. After getting stuffed, they rested on the porch of the lodge while we walked on a short trail to see the gorge. I’ll let the pictures tell the story.

Today, I went to get more boxes, peanuts, and bubble wrap for more packing. After today, I will need to get more peanuts. Does anyone have peanuts? I feel like I’m at the baseball game when I say that. We just finished packing our media stuff, our wardrobe, pictures, camping stuff, and more. We’re getting there. But I’m starting to get a little worn out, because I’m not getting that much sleep. Too much on my mind and too much excitement.

The movers are arriving here on Wednesday afternoon. Shortly after the movers move our stuff, we will be cleaning with the help of our friends. Then, we’ll leave for Kentucky on Thursday.

For the past few weeks, we have been saying good-bye to our dear friends here in Staunton and saying good-bye to all our favorite places. Our friends have certainly became one big family. Third Presbyterian Church has been there for us through all the trials. VSDB friends have supported me through ups and downs. Barnes & Noble in Harrisonburg have been so understanding with Rob’s situation. Our old neighbors have helped us and vice versa. They demonstrated what neighbors are supposed to do… sadly not enough people do that anymore. Thank you so much for all you have done.

Last weekend, we took Buffy, our dog, one last walk in Gypsy Hill Park. Hopefully, we will find a park just as good.
