"Confucius said "If you love what you do you will never work another day in your life." If you love what you are doing and feel that you make a difference to someone even in a small way, what could be more fun? I read a poster that once said, "Bloom where you are planted." By the grace of God I was "planted" in Southwest Virginia surrounded by the awesome natural beauty of mountain forests, farm land, and the New River. I believe we have room to expand our economy with a blanace of business and industry while maintaining the integrity of who we are, through conservation and preservation of our natural resources."

Above: Crab Orchard Museum and Pioneer Park opened in 1982 as a non-profit historical museum named for the National Landmark historic site on which it is located. In the last decade, the museum has emerged as the most comprehensive cultural heritage museum in the middle Appalachian mountains.
Aerial View Photo adopted from Virginia.orgAbove: Burke’s Garden is known as “God’s Thumbprint,” a title most obviously understood by looking at this aerial photograph of the area. Its origins are lost to time; some say it is the site of an old meteor crash and others say it was once all one dome with a limestone cap that collapsed on itself to form the bowl shape. No one really knows, but everyone agrees it’s beautiful!
