Sabbath, October 22
Photos coming...
Sabbath morning I awoke to the smell of French breakfast puffs and was immediately transported to my youth. On very rare occasions, my mother would bake these delectable treats. Shelley has the recipe (I suppose I do also...but what good does it do me?) Not the least bit healthy but sometimes a person has to live a little!
We drove on secondary roads to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, a trip of about 2 hours. We passed through some great little towns, who's names usually ended in "ville" or "burg". We spent a few pleasant hours in this small burg of Harper's Ferry at the confluence of the Potomac River & the Shenandoah River. Also, three states come together near there, Virginia, West Virginia, & Maryland. Harper's Ferry is a National Historical site for two main reasons: John Brown's raid on the arsenal in 1859 and the fact that during the Civil War, it changed sides 8 times depending on which force was strongest at the moment.
