Nelson County, Virginia We first told you a few days ago about a very neat riding camp that will start later this month over at Rodes Farm. The Big Red Barn Riding Camp will start on June 22, 2009 and run for several weeks into the summer.

The camp is designed for beginners to intermediate riders ages 8-14. Campers learn English style riding, including ring lessons and a trail ride.
The camp is designed to provide a hands on approach to learning to ride.

Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia
We always knew Sherry Wheeler had great desserts, sandwiches and more at her Ambrosia Bakery & Deli in Nellysford. But, I never knew she had these yummy sausage and biscuits and ham and biscuits! (See photo for proof) Did I say I was working? That’s right work, research for this web story! Anyway, they are prepared each morning and they are yummy. Now, being a rural West Tennessee boy, I must admit I am partial to my pork sausage, however my veins aren’t! Thankfully Sherry’s sausage & biscuits are turkey! And darn good too!
Go by and try them out, we just might use your picture for research too. Remember it’s work!
Nellysford
Nelson County, Virginia
Hard to believe it’s already been 12 years. Yep, over a decade that Basic Necessities, that quaint wine, cheese, coffee, restaurant in Nellysford right next to Wintergreen Hardware has been in business. We often refer to it as the Student Union! Way back in 1997 Kay Pfaltz and Judy Nelson started the tremendously popular restaurant. Two years ago we covered their 10th anniversary celebration. Today Kay is still there along with Bev Lacey and Keith Dix who bought the place a few years back.
Anyone that knows me and Yvette – know we love that place, and it’s one of our favorites! And now Adam’s!
If you see any of the gang this month at Basic, be sure to wish them a Happy Birthday!
