A recent story in the news might have you rethinking some of what you consider to be junk. A Shenandoah Valley resident was shopping at a flea market and plunked down $7 for a box of stuff. She had her eye on a Paul Bunyan doll and plastic cow but also included was a small painting. For around a year, she kept that painting in a white plastic bag where it went from her car to her kitchen back to the car and into the garage. At one point, she was considering getting rid of the painting but was told she ought to have it looked at. What she discovered is that the painting she didn’t give two thoughts to turned out to be an original Renoir valued at over $75,000. Not bad for a $7 investment. And to think she came very close to selling it at one of her own yard sales.

As the coming Presidential election cycle begins to heat up for the summer, all eyes will be looking towards Virginia. Most analysts feel that Virginia belongs on the list of “must win” states that a candidate will need in order to become our next president. That means we should all be bracing for a lot of television ads, campaign events and door-to-door politicking. Of course, we can choose to ignore all of that and wait until November rolls around. After all, don’t you have more important (fun) things to do this summer? What is on your summer to-do list?
The Virginia Historical Society recently indulged in a one-of-a-kind treat: They opened a time capsule that had been sealed for 100 years. As you might imagine, a time capsule locked away in the South would have mementos that invoked the struggles of the Civil War. Among the 100 items stored in the capsule were wartime Confederate documents, the Great Seal of the Confederacy and other postwar keepsakes. There were blueprints for the Confederate Memorial Institute which ultimately became home for the historical society itself. For a real glimpse into the past, there were many random photographs of the local residents also included. These were portraits taken at a time when getting your picture taken was a major event.
