MORE BIG L.O.V.E.

I am leading with a photo taken at one of Virginia's rest stops along the interstate.  Its tourism campaign slogan is "VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS."  The photo just seemed fitting after my last post and the giant LOVE sculpture in Indianapolis. 

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE     I have gone from tree house to boat.  Ain't that just grand?  YES!

Yesterday I left Harper's Ferry and drove down to Gloucester, Virginia which is near West Point.  The rain had stopped making the ride so much more enjoyable.  Also I was able to utilize my cruise control.  In western West Virginia that was next to impossible.  There were too many hills and I drive a stick shift.  Boy does that cruise control option make for a less stressful drive.

THE HOUSE IN THE TREES IN WEST VIRGINIA

THE BOAT ON THE WATER IN VIRGINIA

I am staying with Cole, a couchsurfing HELPXer and his chef roommate LJ.  Cole owns a restaraunt so they are both gone most of the day.  Cole will be heading off to Australia next month for a 5 month  adventure HELPXing and CSing along the way.  I LOVE my organizations and its members.

There is a quirky cottage on the bank in the forever process of renovation, a big chicken and duck coop, an awesome outdoor shower (which I couldn't get going this morning so had to shower on the boat) and THE BOAT which is where I am sleeping.  I have my own aft quarters and private bath.  NICE

LJ had my head spinning last night talking about all the dishes he likes to cook.  Hopefully tonight he is inspired to create one after a long day at the restro.  Both of these southern gentlemen have me endeared now.  They thought I was 40.  It must be the new brown hair color.  I LIKE IT.

I slept well and awoke to a beautiful sunrise, the mist skimming the water and the sounds of nature.  A definite DO NEW for me!  Life is good.   Thank you angels!

That's it.  Enjoy the photos.  I sure enjoyed shooting them.
