The Battle of Bull Run

Fort Manassas in VA.
This is where the Battle of Bull Run
took place.


This is a very beautiful historic site.
If we did not have the national parks
pass port book, I do not think we would have stopped.
The house is known as the Henry House.
It belonged to a bedridden widow who
refused to leave when the battle started.
She was killed in her bed by artillery meant for the sharp
shooters shooting from her windows.

This is Henry Hill Monument.
Union Soldiers built it to commemorate
those who died in the First Bull Run.


A statue of Stone Wall Jackson.

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
