Tamworth, VA

  This little day road trip we took late February 2022. Tamworth: Post Office shown in the photo #2 - Muddy Creek Grist Mill & Dam in photo #1, Cumberland County, VA.  Mill: Built between 1785 and 1792.  Post office &  General Store : Built 1792.   In 2019: "Harriet" the film was filmed partly in Tamworth.  We have driven past this area many a time but never turned right into Tamworth ...so we did and checked it out a bit, you can go for tours (the hubs stepped out and took these shots for us, I was driving, so I was in the driver's seat, them got on our way on home, it was a fun time out and about.) ...you can see it more from the road during the winter/fall months without all the leaves. It is always fun to see areas you don't always see ...we had taken this route to arrive at a Lidl and an Aldi ...not sure if you are familiar with those grocery stores? They are always fun to see what they have to offer??! Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you all are we

Hillsville Diner

Hillsville Diner, Virginia www.hillsville.com 525 N. Main Street, Hillsville, VA (276) 728-7681 My hubby took a solo trip and went to see this amazing diner. Look at that style, very cool!! He loved the food and really just enjoyed traveling to this area of Virginia. The owner was so talkative and friendly. My hubby always says "What would you suggest I get, I've never been here, I want advice, please." He couldn't get over how kind all the folks were that he met along his journey. What a great time for him. Such a blast. Hope you are well this week. Thank you for your visit. See you again real soon. Take Care. Beth ( ;

Rockfish Post Office, Rockfish, Virginia. Est. 1914. Closed 1974. "Rockfish was frequently referenced in The Waltons, being the closest town to the Waltons Mtn, Severely affected by the flash floods from Hurricane Camille, in 1969." "Q: How do you like your eggs? Me: In a Cake!" Too Cute!! Driving in the country way back in July 2021, we saw this cutie, Had to share. What fun. Got more info about about it online ...the joke was pictured, so I had to share that as well, I am wondering, was it just a local or the postmaster? HUMOR makes the world go around, Love it!!! Who doesn't love a bit of humor?? What was pictured the day we did pass by you might ask?? "Rockfish Post Office, Happy Birthday, USA!" Thank you for your visit, hope you are well today. Have a Nice Day!! Take Care. Beth ( ;
