Virginia Turners Travel to West Virginia

By -
We went camping in West Virginia shortly before taking off for Michigan. We went with our neighbors, the Morans and the Butters, and stayed at beautiful Holly River State Park. Holly River is the second largest park in West Virginia with over 8,000 acres. Even though we hiked for two days we didn't come close to seeing the entire park.

One of the highlights of the trip was the card game, Speed. Here is the championship match between Jason and Annie Butters, they were moving so fast the picture came out blurry.
Jason won.


We each took turns cooking dinner. Jason and I stuck to our camp favorite, hot dogs and brats.

On our way home we visited Audra State Park which has this cool river running through it, the riverbed was solid rock.

Without anyone's urging she videoblogged the enclosed entry, and I tracked down the video file in her account to upload for everyone's information.

On to the story of Izzy

By Chris Turner -
For the past couple of weeks we had been finally considering another dog, Otis having passed in June. Evenings found us as an easily-lampoonable suburban yuppie couple, each of us window shopping on our respective laptops on the couch. On our Sunday bicycle ride we earnestly began discussing the characteristics that we wanted: mature dogs, no puppies; a rescue from a shelter, not something for which we had to pay. But Tiffani spotted Izzy on CraigsList and all that criteria gladly went out the window. Contact with the owner was made, and we drove ourselves to Belding yesterday afternoon with the kids to see if the dog and our family would be a good, two-way fit. The owner was forced to get rid of her due to a breakup and she was sad to see her go. She's a Catahoula Leopard , of which we'd never heard , and the breed seems to have a colorful, if not completely fantastical story. The kids all played with her and Cori walked her, so Izzy slept well in a crate overnight, I hard
