Karlee, Dorothy, and Duke Dog
I’m over a week behind posting pictures but rest assured that I have pictures from every day and will post them here, hopefully two or three a day until I get caught up.
On Friday, July 27 we left at about 9:00 AM for a week at the beach. Normally we go on Saturday but we decided to leave a day early and visit Glen Orchard on the way. I’ll make a separate post about that, with a picture or two, but because of that change of route, we decided to stop at James Madison University on the way. Dorothy and Karlee posed with Duke Dog. Not being one who follows college sports to any great extent, I didn’t even know that their team was called the Dukes nor that their mascot was Duke Dog. Apparently, the name came from the president of the college, Samuel P. Duke, in 1947.

We spent about an hour walking around the beautiful campus, going through a few buildings, and listening in on but not actually joining up with the “official” tours that were being led around the campus. It really is a nice looking school and even for non-Virginia residents is a reasonably priced school (if any school can be called reasonably priced these days — personally, I’d be happy if the higher education bubble would burst already).
As we were walking by the stadium, we noticed that two letters were missing from the “Bridgeforth Stadium” sign so Dorothy and Karlee volunteered to stand in for those letters.
