Vlog Day 19 - Museum and Studio

This afternoon, after helping uncle Bruno pile wood in the woodshed, we went to the Waxhaw museum, which has an interesting display all about the early days of Waxhaw, which was originally settled by Native Americans and then by Scotch-Irish and Germans who came from Europe by way of Philadelphia and Lancaster, PA. Andrew Jackson was born around here somewhere along the border of NC and SC, and some of the revolutionary war battles were fought around here. Pretty interesting stuff.
Then we went into town, crossed the railroad bridge and visited a shop where Josh Burch makes furniture and musical instruments, among other things. I sat and played music with him, chatted and recorded some video. He is also a singer-songwriter - you can hear his music HERE. Then back to the house to finish clearing the wood. A good day, all-in-all.

Vlog Day 18 - Wood Splitter

In which I split wood at the Keller's house. I dressed as a lumberjack for it as well. Unfortunately I pulled a back muscle halfway through, but the reason you don't notice is that I stretched it out and took some ibuprofen. It was a gorgeous day in Waxhaw today. You can watch this video and laugh as I explain ExAcTly HOW to split wood.

Vlog Day 16 - Waxhaw

I left Charlotte today and traveled to Waxhaw, home of the JAARS center (Jungle Aviation And Radio Service) and my friends the Kellers. On thursday I'm playing a concert for the youth group there - mostly MKs and others whose parents work at JAARS. My family used to come through Waxhaw quite a bit on furlough, particularly to visit the IT support department for various computer-related issues.
Here's some video of the day - uneventful and relaxing. The Kellers were missionaries in Ghana and our families knew each other pretty well, being on the field at the same time. Great folks!
