A little behind, but catching up! : )
The route from WV to MD was very scenic as we went through Middleburg, Upperville, and Aldie.....Civil War towns. It takes you a little back in time as there are old stacked stone fences (breastworks in Civil War terms) lining the roads. Very quaint!

The speed limits through these towns aren't the swiftest, but we didn't want to get caught in traffic. We succeeded.....that is until...
...D.C. road construction.
If you ever want to torture someone or maybe you just need a comical situation to amuse you, just feed your company A LOT of delicious, sweet, juicy watermelon and send them from WV to MD with a lot of D.C. road construction in between and NO bathroom breaks! : )
It was a relief to get to our next destination! : )
We've been to Deale, MD quite a bit in the past year, so it's rather familiar territory. Dad and Ray had some insurance jobs they needed to complete: one for Pastor Mayes and another for Mrs. Brown (the lady we stay with). While here, we're also visiting some of the churches we've been to before.
Sunday and Wednesday, we went to First Baptist Church in Deale. We've come to know these dear people well. It's always good to come back! : )
After church Sunday, a few families from the church came over for lunch. Mrs. Brown has it all worked out....she invites them, and we feed them! : ) : )
It was tons of fun!
Hmmmm.... "Trouble is my middle name" ....That's nigh unto believable.... : )
He must have gotten it from his grandpa! : )
Hmmmm...let me guess...a Kodak moment? : )Take 1...
Take 2...
3's the charm! : )
Monday evening, Ray and one of the boys from the church went crabbing off Mrs. Brown's pier.
The only thing chicken necks are good for. : )We decided they must distribute the chicken nationwide and ship all the necks to Maryland!
They were catching those critters left and right!
I hope this thing doesn't slip!Luke was a lot of fun to have around. We just had to laugh as he told of one of the times he went swimming in the Bay and came up with a crab latched onto his nose!! Not the perfect end to a trip to the Bay. : )
Another blue crab comin' right up!
The neatest thing was when Luke spotted a crab swimming right on top of the water. He ran to the end and scooped it up just as it reached the other pier.
Beautiful, but vicious!
Up close and personal...
And this is what the picture looks like when the crab decides to get up close and personal! Ummmm...rather too up close and personal...Let's just say there was a loud shriek as claw came in contact with finger. There was no pain inflicted. Just a quickened heart rate and a wizened photographer. : )
The creek was full of what they call sea nettles (what we know as jellyfish). They look interesting as they swim around in the water, but rather disgusting when caught in a net or dumped on the pier.
Caught one!
By the end of the evening, we had about 2 bushels of crabs! (Counting the ones Ray had caught since we've been here.)
Fishin' where the fishin's good, huh? : )This looks like a crab feast is about to ensue...
