It has been 33 years since I have seen Woodi and Murphy and it is like no time has passed. Sitting around the table, glass of wine in hand talking, talking, talking. What a wonderful thing!!
We spent Friday night in Mineral at the Fire Station. Got up on Saturday and had a very pretty ride into Ashland. Ran into some "road Magic" as well.
We came around a corner and there was a woman, beside her van, standing on the road with a watermelon in her hand, calling us over. She said that she used to run a store and always fed the cyclist when they came by. Now that the store is not running, she stops when ever she sees a cyclist and offers them something to eat. She grows her own food and had just come from the farmers market. She gave us a small water melon, basil, rosemary, and 2 peppers. Then she also insisted that I take a jar of cherry jam and a bar of homemade soap. The kids (she has 7 and 5 were with her) had made fridge magnets so we each got one of those too. Good thing we were close to Woodi and Murphys by then.
Having a wonderful visit. We will go into Richmond and check out the town and visit with W & M
kids. 2 more days of riding and then we will visit the the NC family.
Hugs to everyone!!
