Fall colors

It is a week before Thanksgiving and the leaves here in Virginia are in full coller and just starting to drop. Photos never do the colors justice but here is what we see looking out our Apartment window.

Some of your Virginia roots

In doing some of our Genealogy I found that a few of our GGGGGGGrate Grandfathers were from Virginia. In 1658 one named Ball settled in Northumberland County and was a farmer and a pastor in a church 60 miles north of us along the Virginia coast. I was able to find the old church and got a photo of it. Unfortunately it is not the same building. The first 2 burned down but each time the members rebuild the church, they build in the same style as the first.

The bottem of the sign reads: "CIRCA 1645" That is the year it was first built.

I also found the Ball Coat of Arms from England.
