Then come to find out Clyde only takes CASH!!! What??? We are in 2020, who doesn't take credit cards?? Apparently this dude. LOL!! So scratch that plan. So we got "Clyde" the dog, (please see the 2 pictures above of that signing moment) the real Clyde did sign him and away he went with us.  The artist Clyde was so funny, such a great sense of humor, one of many fun, hilarious, great story for each & every critter there at "Jurustic Park" and so fun to chat with.

Runkle Mill, Standardsville, VA Is that not last shot gorgeous?? I love the country, don't you? This beauty was off a gravel road, we took a Subway sub sandwich and eat it on that gravel road ...it was a humid hot day in July 2020. I do wonder if this a distance relatives grist mill? Yet again, nobody was around to ask??! I wish this virus was not happening ...it sure has changed the world. I wonder if it is for the good? Or will this affect us all for many years to come?? Makes you think??! Sure was fun. Enjoy your day!! Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Madison Mill, Locust Dale, Virginia Down a little in disrepair kind of a road (on a day trip in July 2020) ...where probably a lot of folks run off to go fishing, to hide out in the shade, when July humidity shows it not so nice face, the shade is the place to be ...we found this two beauties ...the first picture is the remains of "Madison Mill", just a wee bit of the foundation is left, so sad. 2nd picture is a store ...we did imagine a general store. Funny how sometimes we you are doing a bit of research it is so tough to find any information out??! We sure wish there was an "old timer" around to pick his or her mind for some good ole tails about this place. I bet it was one of the best places to get some news of the area, great a pop and play catch up with all the locals. Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well today. Take Care, Beth ( ;

Jerry Sullivan's Mill, Standardsville, VA This was recently added "Virginia Historical Mill Register" (not sure of the correct name, this is just a guess.) We had visited "Village of Graves Mill" , and chatted with the caretaker and he had recommended this mill to see that it has been recently added to that historical registry. I don't believe we have seen too many RED grist mills ... only a rare few. What about you? Thank you for stopping by today!! Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Spicer's Mill, Orange, VA We took a day trip during July 2020 and saw this beauty. Just to get out of the house, see some country side and enjoy the day. Are you getting out much? I must say for my "mental health" it has been so important. I enjoy the home we live in but after a while of being there 24/7 ...I need to get out. A bit of "cabin fever" would you not agree? How has life been? Any news??!! Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well today. Take Care, Beth ( ;

Bear Creek Mill, Rustburg, VA "Twitty's" Gorgeous day, it was a bit humid, taken early July 2020, hubby was taking these pictures with his Android cell phone, i am so shocked by the great details, i feel they are way better than when i use my camera. i am curious why or how??! Are we moving toward the day that we will only use cell phones for picture or what?? ...when we were "grist mill hunting", my hubby was on a roll ...he is really having a ball trying to hunt down ones we have taken the time to drive 2. Being that we are at home, trying to "social distances" from others ...he has been working a schedule of working Wednesday to Sunday ... off Monday and Tuesday ...so we get out there on our new weekend times. It really is less folks, because a lot of folks are home or at least going to their offices.  Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ; 

Breneman Turner Mill 5001 Turners Mill Ln Harrisonburg, VA. 22802 Built about 1800, Federal style brick building. Funny thing was the hubby didn't realize we had been to this mill ...gosh I don't recall when it was??! We started dating way back in 1998. When I was in community college there in Weyers Cave, VA. So I would guess early on dating stage, I think??! Any who, I know during that visit the carry takers were there so we got to see inside and chat a bit. He doesn't remember any of that??! I rather enjoy this style of "grist mill", very cool! Weird. Any who ...no one around ...but fun to see again. Took time in middle of July 2020, hot and humid but fun day trip. Thanks, for stopping by. Hope you are well today. Take Care. Beth ( ;
