Travels of Mark and Pat: Wednesday

Another steamy start to the day. I drove to Michael's and Anne and I went for a walk on the trail - she wanted to see the bench we donated.

Anne on the bench

Mom and her girl! We completed our walk! Tah dah!

I went back to Philip's, we loaded up the car for our move to Michael's and then Mark and I were off to Black Mountain. We had lunch at a new place recommended by Annette and Brooke - Bush Farmhouse (very eclectic and funky with several different areas of seating inside and out + farm animals here and there). Mark had a bush burger and I had a smoked salmon BLT - both delicious!

Then we were off to Givens Highland Farms a continuous care community that we had driven around a few years ago. Today we and 12 others were given a 2-hour tour (1st hour was explaining the basics and then we all rode in a shuttle driving around the facility and actually going thru a cottage.) There are several different options for homes and around 400 residents now with a 4-6 year waiting list (340 on that list). Wow....so much info to absorb. We are just thinking ahead to if/when we are ready to make this move! Interesting afternoon.......very impressive facility!

Givens Highland Farms is nestled in Black Mountain surrounded by beautiful mountains.

Back home with some threatening weather.....we are watching the Littles tonight. Michael, Brooke, Philip, Annette and Anne went to a brewery in Old Fort. Liam, Connor and Brady went to Black Mountain for pizza and then the designated driver for their parents.

The girls took Millie for a walk and then supper and then a movie!
