Beautiful homes from the early part of the 20th Century. Most of these are in the Boonsboro/Rivermont section of Lynchburg, and have been kept up by new generations of owners. Majestic and original in architecture. They stand proud.

I sniffs new money! These gargantuan houses were all built in newly developed nabes over the past decade.
Lynchburg: Holiday Splendor
With three radio stations spinning Christmas music before Thanksgiving—an AC, a country and a Christian (zz, zzz, zzzz)—it seems that some hillbillies just couldn't wait to get their holiday decor in place. Sadly, there is no sense of irony surrounding this spectacle. In other words, they're serious.
Lynchburg: Nature Calls
Flowers at the parents' house: the day I arrived...
And Friday... in full bloom.
Here's more nature around their home at Westminster-Canterbury in Lynchburg, which borders plenty of fields.

Lynchburg: Thanksgiving Day
On Thanksgiving Day, the parents and I were hosted by my bro Chris and sis-in-law Judy, along with my nephew Matty, and Judy's daughters Shannon and Amanda. A fine time, with no drama (well, a little might have been kind of fun). We ate turkey, which is an American tradition this time of year, in case that's something your family doesn't do. A lot of people in the South eat scrapple and ox tails, actually, from what I hear... Here's Chris and Judy's house, which they finished building about a year ago.
Pinky and Clover! My grandmother made these by hand for my brother and me when we were chillen. Surprise, Pinky was mine!
Dan and Ev.
Evelyn with Chris & Judy's Yorkie, Blake.
Family portraits: First, here's the Taylor family, with Charles, Dan, Evelyn and Chris.
With the additions of Judy and Blake.
Altogether, now: Dan, Evelyn, Chris, Judy, Shannon, Matthew, meese.
That evening, I joined the Payne family for their enormous T'giving reunion on Parkland Drive. Here's Perry with meese and their neighbor and close pal Camille—who lives in Strele's former apartment across the hall from Perry & David in Washington Heights/NYC.
Perry and her sister Sally's adorable (read: not too precocious) daughter Brantley.
The Payne clan!
