Out and about in Staunton

Met a friend for lunch today and, of course, had to take photos....

Beautiful golf course with Blue Ridge Mountains in background....

Staunton's Betsy Bell & Mary Gray mountains are visible in the background of the Staunton Country Club pool.

Looking up toward the club house.

Met another friend earlier this week for lunch at The Depot Grille at the Wharf in downtown Staunton ... and, of course, took photos. Our table was across from Statler Brother Don Reid and his son.

The Depot Grille is located in the historic train station in downtown Staunton.

It's summer and everyone is out and about in the Shenandoah Valley as we enjoy the summer days of August. It has been an unusually cool summer with more-than-normal rainfall ... very comfortable. The grass is usually brown and crackly by now but this year it is still green and needing to be cut on a weekly basis. The garden is exploding with fresh vegetables that we are sharing with friends, and the grill has been the center of much entertainment in the back yard.

It's summer in the Valley....
