Rain, A Funeral & Brazilian Dancing


The Tom-Tom directed John and I to Stony Creek, VA yesterday.....we traveled to the land of mullets, long acrylic nails and McCain/Palin yard signs. Mr. Elmo Goodwyn passed away at 93 years of age. John had never met him, but apparently he was an old member of Tabernacle Church and they needed the pastor to say a few words. It was raining, so a graveside service in the field was too muddy....Mr. Goodwyn was laid out in the living room of his old farm house. About 30 people had gathered....there was a mixture of suits and camoflage. Afterward, they cleared the hallway to carry the casket to the hearse awaiting just outside the front door. We took the long way home through the back roads instead of the interstate....

Al experienced Brazilian dance/marshal arts in her Dance Cultures Around the World class last nite. She called and said she is now a Brazilian ninja and loved the whole tribal thing! She is driving to Hampden-Sydney this afternoon....Reality check: childhood friend, Leigh Barksdale is expecting .....

I am gathering steam for the weekend....packing...
