Trav Wilson's Blog: July 28-30 - Country Road Take Me Home ...

This is a picture of Becca's grandmother. She turned 89 on July 30. As the birthday girl, the reason for the Tiara is obvoius. However, the "Ms. Gulf Coast" will take some explaining later ... just as soon as I get permission to publish the photographs. Long story!

We had several highlights on the trip, beyond the joy of visiting with family. We worshiped in the First Presbyterian Church of Logan, WV with Namur on her 89th birthday. That was grand. We saw Logan itself, which is the home town of the love and gracious, greatest mother-in-law in the world; Ms. Francey Newland. We also saw Man, WV the hometown of the dashing and wise, greatest father-in-law in the world, Mr. Randy Newland.

And we also saw West Virginia itself. I described it as Scotland with trees. Everything is vertical. In the little flat land that is there, the mountaineers have built homes, industry and community. The rest is there to impress. I got a little crick in my neck sometimes looking UP at all the beauty. It's just breathtaking. I walked up to a rockface and picked loose some real West Virginia coal. It makes the world go around!
