Road Trippin’ Near By! Valdese, NC by Karen Ruhl
We are so tickled to be out and about again. In July, we needed to stay close to home until Craig had his follow-up to his aortic valve replacement. We have been cleared to move about the country again! Craig and I often go to Valdese, North Carolina for lunch at 100 Main Street Restaurant. They have fantastic food and great servers. While there, I picked up a brochure called The Arrival. The story talks about the original settlers of the Town of Valdese. Their history is filled with survival, courage, and hard work along with strong faith. Here are a few photos of the monument created in the summer of 2018 to commemorate the arrival. Their story is touching and inspiring.
