Happy Birthday to … the 35th State in the Union

 

With Grandpa and Grandma, here in their hometown …

With Aunt Judy to visit and more company on the way …

With homegrown cherries in an ice-cream-topped cobbler …

With perfect June weather, a blend of spring and summer …

With a glimpse of the oriole and the air filled with bird songs …

With memories of the Parade of Flags in boy scouts 50 years ago …

With thoughts of Chuck Yeager, Daniel Staddon :), Andrew Rowan, Otto Koning, Dawson Trottman, Mary Lou Retton, Don Knotts and Stonewall Jackson …

With appreciation for fresh rhubarb and golden delicious apples

With gratefulness to God for natural and supernatural blessings …

With hearts bowed before Him …

The view from Spruce Knob.

We rejoice today, in the 150th anniversary of the state rippled with mountains from end to end …

WEST VIRGINIA!

    Oh those hills,
    beautiful hills,
    how I love those West Virginia Hills!

    If o’er sea or land I roam,
    still I think of happy home,
    and my friends among those West Virginia Hills!
