I never tire of the sweeping view, especially whilst cooking and standing at the kitchen window.
How blessed we are to have found this place and recognized it as home.
Thirty-two years ago I would hum happily en route to this 20 acre plot where there was no home yet . It was a place in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where we could imagine a future.
The land stayed unspoiled. The house Bill designed sustained us.
And “the future is now.”

I keep blogging about our trip to Germany and now beginning to envision
blank faces,
yawns
and vacant stares.
This will therefore be the last post on my visit to “the old country.”
That is, unless there is something special that must be shared – like a castle built by Mad Ludwig II.

We walked along the river and noticed rusty old tubs that looked as though they had been used for commerce in their better days. Upon closer look I noticed lace curtains in the windows and potted plants along the decks. There were mailboxes ashore too and places for garbage pickup.
Then I thought I had the perfect shot of a big old white-faced dog on one of those boats.
He was looking at us through the center of a life preserver ring.
But, by the time my camera was positioned, the big guy moved aside and began barking.
He did not want to have his picture taken and did not approve of foreigners.
As the Germans say,
That pup was definitely complaining, German style, but we meant him no harm.
