Bruce and I spent some time in Historic Downtown Charlottesville. It was pretty quiet in the morning so I could browse at leisure and Bruce could sit outside the shops drinking coffee. It's a walking mall with lots of quant shops and eating places, as well as a visitor center.
We went back after picking Jeffrey up from work and had pizza at Christian Pizza's! Yummm! Then we took a short tour through Virginia University area -- too dark to see much, but we got the idea.

Wonderful Worship
Sunday, November 8
Beautiful, sunny day!
We attended Covenant Church of God and really enjoyed the lively singing and diverse ethnicity. The sermon was excellent, very moving.(Not as great as Pastor Rick, but what can we expect?) They were very friendly and we picked up a visitor's package afterwards.
They have a lot of small groups and service opportunities. We were quite impressed.
Heather and I did some ceramic painting in the afternoon.

Apple Harvest Festival
Saturday, November 7
Jeffrey and Heather both had to work, so Bruce and I went to a local Apple Harvest Festival. They had live music, apple tasting, cider, apple butter making (in huge pots over open fires outside), hay rides, kids games, lots of booths selling antiques, brooms, donuts, carmel apples, funnel cakes, jams, sop, pizza, ribbon potato chips, canned goods, vegetables, honey, pie, Brunswick Stew, crafts, pictures, and probably a lot of other stuff I missed.
We got our sugar high from hot cider and funnel cakes, then bought some sweet potatoes, apples, honey sticks, and a picture of a train for Bruce!
Had a great time.
At night we went shopping with the kids and ate at STICKS.
