LA VIRGINIE PROFONDE

We have been there, visiting friends who own a Victorian farmhouse, goats, peach and apple trees, and a pond complete with snapping turtle. They gave us us gave us a gorgeous lunch, good conversation, a story about the Confederate ghosts who haunts their house, and a peek into a way of life to which we would like to become accustomed--particularly the goatie part.
We found a buyer for a bronzite and rhodocrosite necklaces, which would have been cause for celebration had we home not lost Junior's cell phone somewhere in deepest Virginia. Result, Junior gets a new cell phone and my wallet gets leaner by a hundred dollars. At this rate, I had better make more jewelry. Fast.
