Good Old Country Store

Last Saturday afternoon, my wife and I drove to Bena, Virginia (Google Map It!), just a bit north of the coleman Bridge, up Highway 17 North, then a turn to the right.

Get the creative juices going -- start that writing project or finish one you started long ago. Let the rain... Sign in to see full entry.

My voting experience this morning . . . .

It seemed everyone in my neighborhood was in line starting before six this morning. When I got to the Stuart Polling Precinct in Norfolk right around that time, the line was already out the door, around two corners of the school and almost halfway up te block. And it was raining steadily. It was... Sign in to see full entry.

I think we spent more money on preparing for our yard sale than we made in sales. Maybe today will be different.
