Sunday - December 28

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 .

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!
