Friends visit :-)

Our friends Patsy and Darlene from Houston came to Asheville for the Thanksgiving holiday.  We were soooooooo glad to see them and have them here in our world for a little while.
We asked them what they wanted to see..... and they said show them whatever it is that makes us love this place so much.   So we did our best.... a long day with a lot of country covered: A drive down a portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the campground where we will return to work next summer, a waterfall, and of course, a stop in Brevard at Rocky's Ice Cream Shop.

everyone's favorite, the Cracker Barrell

Night time Gatehouse entrance to the Biltmore Estate grounds

 

 

Meanwhile, back at the homestead.....We keep pretty busy with water aerobics 3 days a week, and Vera's stained glass classes..... and I've been doing some "doodle art".

Vera has shopped for a few Christmas decorations, and has our motorhome dashboard all aglow (picture later).

So we plan to leave Dec. 27th for Houston.  Charlie will have surgery on Jan. 11th.

That's it for now.
