Wednesday - May 29

 Hello from Lake James - arrived here around 3 after a 1-hour stop at Urgent Care in Hickory to check on Mark's very sore side (apparently a bruised or sprained rib) which occurred when working on Catrina's engine compartment!    Those take 4-6 weeks to heal!    UGH!

We enjoyed our morning in Mt. Airy (Mayberry)  starting with a stop at Brady's for donuts and coffee.    We had planned to have breakfast at Barney's Cafe but found this cute coffee place, so......to Brady's we went!    Good donuts and coffee sitting outside (just a walk-up place with outdoor seating on a deck).

Good stuff!

Then we walked around downtown Mayberry - oh my, all these little shops, restaurants, etc. and only saw one empty building formerly a restaurant.    So, the tourist season is getting started and supposedly a happening place here in little ole Mayberry with lots of festivals and fun events.

On to the lake - Michael, Drew and Davis were here (+Jinx, Millie and Maverick).  Blair and Brooke were in town for piano lesson.

We stopped in to see Annette and kiddos and give them some Brady donuts.   Philip was flying to Detroit and then Cancun,

This morning Blair graduated from Salem Elementary and will be going to Liberty Middle School this fall!
Congratulations Blair!

Michael grilled pork tenderloins on the green egg and Brooke made roasted cheesy potatoes, asparagus and salad for a delicious dinner,   After dinner, we sat outside around the fire and later, Drew and I beat Brady and Mark 2 games of euchre!!!
