Maggie Perrin-Key is the artist…for some reason it makes me think of salt water taffy!

Tuesday’s Treasures - Michie Tavern
That’s my friend Lisa! After touring Monticello (I’ll post that later!) we worked up an appetite haha…we decided to stop here for lunch!
There was a bit of a wait but the line moves super quick!
If you are in the area I highly, highly recommend stopping here!! The food is delicious…especially the fried chicken!
Michie, pronounced Mickie, was built in 1784…it has a really interesting history that you can read about HERE !

Monday Murals - Testimonial
The World Called…
A few weeks ago our friends from California came out for a visit! We took them to Monticello and then over to UVA to see the Rotunda and as we were leaving I spied this mural as we were driving by!
A collaboration of work combining poet Rita Dove’s poetry and artist David Guinn’s painting talent!
I found this short documentary about how this all came together Right Here …super interesting!

Monday Murals - Jesus Saves
Well this just popped up out of nowhere and I couldn’t find any info on the artist…bummer…
We drive past here frequently and was surprised to see this since the last time we were there! Very nice addition!

Weekend Link Ups
Good morning from the zoo! Lowe’s picks a project every year called the Hero Project where we can give back to the community…this year our local zoo was picked! Our zoo is small, almost 70 years old and doesn’t have a lot of money…our zoo takes in endangered and injured animals and rehabs them to put back out in the wild if able to. We came in and cleaned up, put down fresh mulch, planted flowers, fixed the bathrooms and laid pavers…they were so appreciative of the work we did! It was a worthy and fun job!
Neat old farm and there’s also a pretty greenway which is new! More on this later in the week!
Craig Creek . Eagle Rock
Bennett Spring Road . Salem
I think this cute little house is abandoned…the door was open but we didn’t stop for a visit! Sad!

Back Roads
A few days ago Nick and I were just driving around and decided to check out the place on Craigs Creek where we used to take the kids to swim and fish…I’ve posted lots of pictures there in the past years but we haven’t been in a few years…it had really changed…I don’t know if the water was high but the river bank was very narrow…the picture above is a canoe launch we discovered…this was a really pretty place!
Craigs Creek Rd . Eagle Rock . Botetourt County
Not too far down the road was this really neat old abandoned house…so sad.
Heading back we were stopped here for a few minutes because of road work…
