My knees and feet hurt so much on Saturday evening that I had decided to keep Sunday as a recovery day. I planned a gentle walk at Jacob’s Nature Park and then a stroll through downtown.

I think the white car was dropping someone off, not parked there as part of the antique show.

Friday
Events: Reserve hotel for that night, 10:00 a.m. hair cut, pack car, drive four hours to the Super 8 at Lebanon, VA
Early Friday morning, I reserved a hotel room for that night, selected purely on low price and proximity to The Channels trailhead. A secondary desire was to go somewhere I hadn’t been before, which is partly how I ended up reserving a room in Lebanon, VA. After my 10:00 a.m. haircut, I came home and rushed through lunch before packing the car, kissing my husband goodbye, and settling in for a long drive while listening to Wuthering Heights.

In May 2026, I was an online student at Emmanuel Christian Seminary. For some classes, we go on campus for a week. The first week of May was an on-campus week. After evaluating my travel options, I decided that it would be cheaper for me to drive in than to fly and rent a car.
This trip came a week after finals. That week was filled with doing all the things I let slide during the semester. I just could not get my brain to turn to packing. I debated removing the Channels hike so that I would have an extra day to prepare, but I had been putting off the trip for years and going now would only be a 30-minute (one way) side trip.

If you’ve missed it, high-waisted trousers are all the rage in Spring 2026. I eagerly await the return of mid-rise pants. Why?
CEFR Level C1-C2
Background
As of April 2026, I have spent two semesters each formally studying biblical Greek and biblical Hebrew. I also have a B.A. in Spanish and have informally dabbled in at least five other languages. Additionally, I am certified to tutor ESL. All this to say, I’ve spent a lot of time both learning languages and thinking about how to teach them. I acknowledge that biblical languages are no longer spoken (like 13th-century English is no longer spoken), but I think there are crossover principles in how adults learn.
