Talking Hello from Midlothian, VA

Hello!

I am Richard Elliott, husband of Lonnie for 29 years, father of Melissa (23) and Colin (20), owner of Apollo (4) and Tasha (14).



Became a Christian in college and have attended PCA churches for over 30 years since. Especially enjoy studying church history.

And my wife tells me I have cute knees.

Welcome, Richard, fellow Scot and Narnian (although I tend a bit more towards Tolkien myself, as the screen name would indicate.

Thank you'all for the warm welcome.

I must warn you, though, that I do have a quirky sense of humor. Pity my poor wife as my children have inherited it.

Yep, we would steal the Clan Scott's horses, they would hang us, all in good clean, fun.

A grand tradition I hope to uphold
