MOVING WEST

We had a nice visit with Jane. Sunday we attended her church, which I look forward to because of the Priest, Father Jim. Father Jim is so full of energy, just in constant motion, never pausing for a breath.  He conducts the Mass and simultaneously narrates,  pauses, does "timeouts" to explain, and then returns to the familiar structure.  Its magic to see and I love every minute of it. If only I could say that about our services at home.
Sunday was football and I followed the Chiefs as they won again.  The cardinals also were watched as they won two at home, dropped the third game in LA.

We left Wednesday for Hanging Rock State Park in NC.  Just 100 mile drive so we had plenty of time to set up camp and take a short hike.  Ginnie almost stepped on a copperhead snake, but saw it just in time to avoid it.  The snakes coloration blends perfectly with the leaf litter. She really was lucky to avoid stepping on the snake.
Thursday was mostly drizzle all day so we spent most of the day reading and taking naps. We found a spot where we could get internet and caught the results of the Cardinals game. Now leading 3-1. Go Cards.

Friday morning we hitched up and headed for Tennessee. More later.

Nice Snake, just catching some afternoon sun!

Nice waterfall, after a short hike in the rain
