Tuesday - Some of us slept in this morning - Grandma and Blair! Then we all went to Annette's for delicious breakfast. Back to Blair's house - Brooke arrived and we caught up on her time with Davis at Georgia Tech, I started the laundry and others skedaddled off here and there. Mark and Philip worked on new jet ski ramps
Annette and I played a game of Pass the Trash with Brady, Luke and Maeve with Luke the winner!
After lunch, Brooke and Annette took the kiddos to the Camp - I finished our laundry and got things organized on Flo and in Big Red for our travels tomorrow.
A "Ray of Sunshine" with some of her new treasures from Claire's
And then there's Maeve trying on her new make-up, tasting it, whatever!!!
Said our good byes to Brooke, Brady and Blair.....they headed home and we went to Philip and Annette's and they had a date night - ran some errands and had dinner. Said our good byes to all and we came home to Flo.

One last picture with these goobers!
What a fun week we've had and got to spend time with our NC kids (+Ryan) and the 6 NC grandchildren!!!! Good memories and sure going to miss them all (especially the 3 little tykes)
Till July in Colorado when we're all together again....
Wednesday - another spectacular day in NC - deep blue skies, sunshine and the birds are chirping on this glorious spring day. A few more photos of Lake James, hooked up Big Red to Flo (after breakfast of yummy casserole Annette sent with us). On the road at 9:20. We stopped west of Knoxville for lunch and arrived at Spring Lake Campground in Crossville/Fairfield Glade, TN at 1:30. Nice to be back on central time and regain that hour.
Brady, Blair and Luke are on spring break this week.....so Brooke, Philip, Annette and Maeve are taking these kiddos for 2 days of fun at Great Wolf Lodge in Charlotte (hotel with huge water park). Imagine they are having a great time!!!
At Hartford, TN rest stop this morning
and ...
pretty pansies
Happy to have internet again - did some computer stuff and read this afternoon.
Later this afternoon we drove to our friends, Vince and Sandy's home and joined by Bill and Nancy and Heather. We are all long-time friends from Bloomington who first met thru boating and then RV'ing except for Vince and Sandy. They all retired to this area (Fairfield Glade/Crossville)
We had drinks and snacks on their lovely deck overlooking Lake Dartmoor followed by delicious BBQ ribs, broccoli salad and potato salad topped off with 3-berry pie and ice cream. We chatted non-stop and had so much fun catching up on families, travels, and reminiscing thru the years!
Heather's husband, John passed away 2 1/2 years ago - sure miss John and all the fun memories we've shared together.
Sandy, Vince, Nancy, Bill, Heather, Mark
We look forward to all being together (hopefully Bill and Charmaine, too) in October!
