Sunday - May 31

Sunny Sunday - perfect spring day!    We had ham and cheese omelets and bagels and then went to Annette's Barber Shop - she gave Mark a haircut while I watched Luke and Maeve on their trampoline.    Visited with Ryan and checked out latest progress on his garage/apartment.

Went to Mass in Boston with Cardinal O'Malley and then enjoyed some ice cream sundaes.

It sickens and saddens me to see all the violence and horror going on around our country - sooo senseless. After all these business owners have been thru these last few months being shut down, etc.,, and now to have it all destroyed.   

This last day of May and our last hurrah at Lake James - exactly 10 weeks tomorrow that we arrived here.    We'll sure miss the warm hospitality and our lovely cottage that Michael, Brooke, Drew, Davis, Brady and Blair so graciously offered us.  Along with Philip, Annette, Luke, Maeve and Ryan (all from a distance), there were happy hours, sharing meals, and many grocery deliveries that were so appreciated.   We'll miss (but can continue as we travel) , the online euchre games, and while here, so enjoyed "Call the Midwife" series and "The Last Dance".    We'll definitely miss all the hiking on so many neat trails thru the beautiful Pisgah Forest and waking up to all that beauty of the lake and mountains and amazing sunsets day after day.

Luke and Maeve jumping off some energy!

Mark and I sat on the pontoon bobbing back and forth reading our kindle and i-pad this afternoon - sooo relaxing!   

Tonight our NC kiddoes are all together and we gathered at Michael and Brooke's for a delicious dinner, wine and good ole family time!

                            Tomorrow, we are "Back on the road again" as Willie would sing.   

Have a fun and safe week!
