the Canary in the Cave trail race)
Cathedral Cafe
One of Two Large Stained Glass Windows
Cathedral Cafe Sign
Way too chilly to eat outside.
The inside is very, very cozy.
The chalkboard signs are done so creatively.
Stained Glass from the Inside
The choir upstairs is now a little consignment/used sales area.
The old wood and the stained glass rectangles
of these old windows are beautiful.
Fortunately, none of the wood has been painted.
More Chalkboard Signs
Reflections from the two windows on one of the tables.
All the tables are handprinted like these three.

Bud’s Crooked Road Race
Buddy just finished the Crooked Road 24 Hour Race at Rocky Mount, Va, which began Saturday at 8:00A.M. and finished today at 8:00A.M. He slept Friday night and off and on during the race in his old Vibe. It was so cold in there Friday night his Power Bars froze and the windows were covered in frost from his breath.I made him as warm a bed as I could to go with his sleeping bag.These pictures he sent home via iPhone.
During the 24 hours, runners could stop and rest whenever they needed, and there was lots of good food and drink for the 24 hours...soup, pizza, hamburgers, yummy boiled potatoes and lots more. Volunteers manned the course from start to finish.It was at Waid Park on a hybrid figure eight style track/trail.
Bud took these views for us:
He ran a total of 100K which is 2.4 marathons...I hope I have it straight, because I do not get running distances at all. I’ve asked him so many times trying to make sure I have it correct that I think he is worn out with me :-) I just don’t get it! When he came thru the door at noon, he was hobbling and sounded terrible (sort of mumbling), so he has been sleeping off and on all afternoon. He ran farther than he did last year so is a VERY happy husband, and I’m a VERY happy wife that he was able to break his 2014 record and made it home safely.
A volunteer and another runner were kind enough
to take these shots on his iPhone for him to have.
Little Sign ~ Long Run
He looks SO happy...maybe he’s just glad it’s finally over.
