Random Access Memory:
December 9, 2005
We have been out of touch with our internet persona for over a week now.

Footsteps of History:

History continues nearly a hundred years later when the civil rights movement started here with a young lady named Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955. Again in March of 1965 with the Selma to Montgomery voting rights march. Read More

Then we drove on to Front Royal Virginia, stocked up on groceries and fabric and entered the Shenandoah National Park to drive the Skyline Drive. Read More

We opened it and closed it on Saturday. We didn’t even stop for lunch. We took along some munchies and just kept going and going like the Eveready bunny. Read More
