Topic: Sperryville

This is just a song about Sperryville, a little town not far from where I live in Virginia that I’m fond of. It sets nestled in the foot hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains at one of the entrances to Shenandoah National Park. I hope you like the song and I hope you get to visit the town one day.

Re: Sperryville

Hi jets,
Can we just forget about your song for a mo! Ok! this is what i need you to do!
Book me into "Foster Harris B/B!    Meadow view room.  As i always wanted to sleep in a Canopy Queen Bed!   Chair to face that beautiful fountain,  as i sip my iced tea!   Trips to all the vineyards! and do you think they would change the name to Cherryville? as i love fresh Cherries!  My 2 teacher friends were born in Virginia and live in NewRichmond Ohio? is this the same area? I was supposed to visit this year?
See how good your song was? Yes i love visual! Thank you Jets for that lovely trip!
Sorry admin for being so long winded as usual!

Re: Sperryville

Re: Sperryville

Hey Old Doll - Well that area is just crawling with B/Bs, wineries, fruit picking but unfortunately it is a good ways to Ohio from there although not too outragous a distance.

Thanks Daddy glad you like it.

Ark glad you enjoyed your visit.

There is are lots of antique store there and you can get some of the best Apple cider (not hard cider) you ever had if you like that.
