Weekend Trip to Virginia
By Doug | October 12, 2008
We had no specific obligations this weekend, thus we decided to travel to Radford, Virginia to visit Andrew and Mel. The Lord gave us great fall weather and a safe trip. We picked up Anthony after classes on Friday and drove up in the evening arriving about 9:30 pm. After sleeping in on Saturday morning, we went to the Highlands Games and Festival at Radford University for the afternoon. Watching traditional Scottish competitions was interesting. Andrew said that the basic theme always revolved around seeing how far people could throw heavy objects. We watched pole throwing and sheave throwing. Better to watch than to participate! We missed hammer throwing! There was also a good variety of animal exhibits and craftsmen. Andrew and Mel treated us to a steak and baked potato picnic at a nice local park for dinner. We then went to a film night at Radford before returning to their apartment for a double birthday celebration. Andrew reached the quarter century mark on October 6th and Anthony left his teenage years on October 12th. Joyce and I praise God for a fine brood of two sons, two daughters, one daughter-in-law, and one son-in-law!
