Today Peggy and I met Lynn for a picnic lunch. There’s a sign about the Civil War Battle of New Market because this was the place where Confederate General Breckinridge launched the first attack of the battle.

New Market Picnic and Silver Lake Mill
After a leisurely lunch and conversation, I drove Peggy to Silver Lake in Dayton.
The Virginia Quilt Museum is there, and I wanted to see the exhibit, "250 Quilts Commemorating the Commonwealth of Virginia." These are contemporary quilts, and they are fabulous!

Looks like a fun outing. Beautiful skies, and I love the waterfall!
ReplyDeleteGreat show, I'd have spent hours there. What does the rest of Lynn's tee-shirt say?
ReplyDelete“Be a Jimothy.” (If you haven’t seen the popular raccoon, look up Jimothy.)
