Miserable
morning for travel – we left the hotel at 8:00 and drove thru rain (heavy for a big
chunk of the day) and nasty fog. Arrived
in Asheville around 12:45 and what a nice warm welcome, as the sun came
out!!! We had a delicious lunch at the Red Stag in
the Grand Bohemian Hotel (where Linda, Vicki and I stayed in September).
We got to
Lake James and the grandchildren at 2:40 and greeted at the door by Michael and
a smiling sweet Blair. Let the fun
begin.. LOVE coming here but this was
our first visit in the wintertime. The
lake was like glass – just a beautiful afternoon with sunshine, no wind and 61
degrees. Gotta love this NC weather
(their gas prices were much higher though- $2.45 compared to the $1.89 we paid
yesterday in Indiana).
After all
the hugs and settling in, we heard all about their gifts and 1st
Christmas at Lake James.
Today was
the big Panthers vs Falcons game and friends of the kids, Tom, Andi and boys,
Shepherd and Charles came to watch the game.
We had lots of hors d’oeuvres and then chili and hamburger or turkey
sliders. And the Panthers won 34-3…..so
the NC folks are happy, happy!
After the game, the guys sat around the roaring fire outdoors - hard to believe it's December 28th .
Grandma and her little girl
Davis and his new Lego set - 4,295 pieces for age 16+ (he is 12)!
We have no doubts that he will succeed with this project!
