This past weekend we traveled to the Shenandoah Valley for the MCC Harrisonburg Relief Sale and a home visit with Ranita's family. It was the longest road trip our group has taken yet and we made it round-trip without van trouble! (We lost two lug nuts on a relatively short trip to Buckhannon early on).

We arrived in Harrisonburg, Virginia late Friday night and some of the group stayed with Ranita's aunt while the rest stayed with friends Ranita's (actually the family of a current Johnstown SA participant!) Early Saturday morning we headed over to the Relief Sale for a tasty breakfast of hot sausage & egg sandwiches, omelets, and pancakes. After our fill we walked around and met up with Ranita's family. We spent the rest of the morning watching how corn meal is made, riding the 'cow train,' helping make apple butter and watching the quilt sale.

The afternoon was relaxing time at Ranita's which was easy to do with the trampoline and gorgeous farm view behind the house. Sunday we attended Springdale Mennonite, Ranita's home church, and had another delicious meal with her family before making our journey back to Philippi.
