Children are already back in school and now the sun sets earlier and earlier. Why does summer always go by so quickly?
I went home Wednesday night and finished working on the fence in our backyard.
We installed a new gate to a side yard. Our two goats will enjoy this new large space, and I’ll enjoy the fact that they will eat all the unwanted foliage there.

It is hard to believe that just 30 years ago, the streets of historic Manassas were desolate, buildings were in disrepair, and almost half of the storefronts were empty and boarded up.

Civil War Weekend is not just about fighting and strategy. It’s about the upheavals of lives and it’s about the lives of women during the Civil War.
Living historians will portray Clara Barton, the famous Civil War nurse; Dorothea Dix, an American activist who created the first American mental asylums; Elizabeth Keckley, Mary Todd Lincoln’s seamstress and confidante; the wives of Generals Robert E. Lee, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, and Isaac Trimble. Barbara Smith and Hendrina Appelt will speak to audiences about the role of women in the war.
