Day 7

Day 7—packed up the trailer, ready to roll when we return from church. We met our new friend at the steps and walked in to see a charming old church that had been kept up. It was actually a pioneer church originally built of wood. After a fire, it was rebuilt of brick in 1906. there was a full pipe organ still fully functionally built in 1906.

Fred was in heaven. He loves pipe organs. The sermon was good and the people friendly. They also had fully functioning single octave bells that were played by pulling handles that operated the clappers, as the bells are now stationery. We were invited to have lunch after the service and we accepted. After a great meal at a local restaurant and good conversation, it was time to give hugs and say good by.

Plans were to see friends from one of our shows. They lived in east, west Virginia. By the time we got near, they were still deep in the construction process of building a garage. We talked and chose not to have them stop just to say hi, as all their sons were there working too. So we continued east. Ran into the rain and it continued for 2 hours. Went to 2 campgrounds that were not satisfactory.

Decided to head for the nearest KOA. They are always great. So around 7 pm we arrived. We thought we were lost, as it was a ways off the freeway ,down small roads. It is beautiful here, right on a river. Oh yes, has a laundry too. Clean clothes are nice.
