Hot Coffee, Winter Sky

Carrying Two Cups


On the day after Christmas, Marie and I went to Front Royal for a little shopping and lunch at Spelunkers. Then I suggested driving to the town of “Little” Washington. By this time she wanted a cup of coffee, and we found a place open in nearby Sperryville. 

We came home by crossing the Blue Ridge to Luray and then wound around to Fort Valley Road, a scenic route that the GPS deems shorter. (I think it saves a couple of minutes if you don’t have to slow down for tractors or wildlife on the road. I avoid it at night though. There are hairpin turns that are tricky in the dark.)

We stopped to admire the view from the top of Massanutten Mountain. Marie got out and took a picture. I took one from the car.
