WINTER ADVENTURE
THE BEGINNING
After a day delay, we started off on our RV journey through America on Thursday November 2, 2017. We spent our first night at Agnes’ house. We were lucky to see her gorgeous new bathrooms and wood flooring throughout the house. We had dinner at Mission Oak with our final Manhattan to celebrate the beginning of the trip.
The drive through the country side of Pennsylvania was beautiful. The gold trees were spectacular against the grey sky and deep green grass. The rolling hills were a welcoming landscape for the fall scenery inviting a landscape painting. We listened to the music of Mary Black, Irish folk music. Her song about coal mining and Ellis Island set the mood for tomorrow: visiting my mom’s birth place, the coal patch town, Star Junction
We are spending the night in Perryopolis, PA and plan to see Star Junction tomorrow. My mother was born in Star Junction and that is the inspirational setting for my book, THE WEIGHT OF COAL AND LACE. I hope to sell a few books tomorrow. Although it will be Sunday, I am not sure exactly where to hang out, a local church or lunch cafe, perhaps.
And so the adventure begins... Looking forward to following you by blogš
