Once every 10 years give or take a few we get a real good snowfall. Today seems to be our time for this once in many a moon event.

The Shack both Real and Fictional
Well, it has been a slow journey and now after finishing the book I think I understand why. "Life is difficult" seems to be an understatement. I wonder if anybody else took as long as I to finish reading "The Shack" ? I know Mary finished it long ago. Maybe I am just a slow learner.
I hope I have learned something about myself by finally seeing this book through to the end and by reading Wm. Paul Young's After Words hopefully I will be able to go forth with a new life understanding.
The Real Shack picture I attached to this blog is a curved building along side US-1 some miles north of Ashland, Virginia we have passed by for years on our way to visit Mary's parents in Front Royal, VA. This last trip in January 2010 we made a pact between us that we would take a picture before it fell down and was no more.
Did seeing this weathered building once more lead me to finally finish the book, I dunno? Whatever the reason I am glad I did it.
Here is hoping if someone else has been putting off and putting off something that they get the chance to finish, too.
Oh by the way, Mary Sr. introduced us to the book couple years ago after another visit which took us by that old building on US-1.

Front the Royal Oak
MLK Day 2010 and all about Front Royal
Just woke up a bit before Al Roker did his thing on Weather Channel. Rain has stopped here in VB. I am so ready for spring even though our winter weather has been much better than rest of the country. We were up to Front Royal for the weekend and there is still a lot of snow left over from December storm.
Mary Lee told me the Front the Royal Oak story this weekend while we were driving back home so I had to "goggle" it and found this stuff about Front Royal's mighty Oak, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Royal,_Virginia http://www.treesfrontroyal.org/TreeLore.htm
