McGalliards Falls Park

This morning Jeff & I headed to Valdese, NC, to check out this park I just read about on the internet. When we got there the gates were locked, but there were other people parked on the shoulder of the road and walking around the gates, so we just joined them. They left soon after we arrived, though, and we really had the entire park to ourselves. I got this picture standing in the middle of the creek, looking down toward the falls.

And this one after we’d walked down below the falls, next to the old grist mill. It really was a beautiful park. I’m so glad we decided to go.

At the golf course

Today was Mallory’s final golf match of the Junior Golf season, and Sherri and Gary got here to watch her. It was at Rock Hill, & they only played nine holes because a terrible storm was coming up – and in fact, it started pouring soon after we got in the car. I did get this picture of Mal with Sher and Gar before everyone left out.

Sunday Funday

My day yesterday started out with Parking Lot Church. It’s definitely not the same as worshiping inside, but I’m so thankful for our church, and enjoyed visiting with Cathy Curtin, who was in the next car.

Then in the afternoon we had a birthday gathering for Gran on her carport. We missed Zollie & Renee, but it was so great being together.

Falls Park on the Reedy

Today Addie, Lee, June, Mason, Mallory, Clara & I spent the morning in Greenville exploring this park right downtown. It was just lovely – here are a couple of pictures of the falls. Beautiful.
