We saw many lovely things in England and Europe; however, there is much beauty in Virginia where we live now. In the season of Autumn when the leaves change colors, our state has some very beautiful foliage. One of the touristy things to do is take a drive on the Skyline Drive. Or you can simply drive through the mountains on a variety of routes as we did a couple of weeks ago.

In the Autumn, our children have been playing soccer for years (yes, for our non-U.S. friends, “football”). This season, J.T. and Brad both played. The following are photos of their team in the tournament.

A final note, the boxes are decreasing in the Elliott home. Could the end (of the unpacking) be in sight?
One can always hope.
