Chapel Hill for April's 33 rd~

We spent a second day driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway on Thursday. The sun was out, making it an entirely different experience from Wednesday's rainy day. The colors of Spring, the split rail fencing, the panorama vistas, just made us ooh and ahh. Who needs another country to tour, when America offers so much to see first?

Muggy weather in NC, tomorrow it's supposed to be 90! I'm here until Tuesday at April's house to spend time with her and lil' Emmy. Tonight we all went to a Japanese Steakhouse which was great fun, and the food was terrific too. Jim found yet another way to enjoy steak and shrimp, and lil' Emmy just ate everything!

Tomorrow, we're having a Stampin' Up class here at April's. She is a demonstrator for fun, which is a great stress breaker for her work in oncology, and supports her creative habits! Tomorrow evening we have tickets to go see Garrison Keillor, and his Prairie HOme Companion show in Durham.

Jim is staying out in the woodsy campground, just down the road from John and Elizabeth Edwards compound. The ticks have been on the dogs already, so he'll have to be diligent in checking them after each potty outing. He has internet access, and a loads of cable tv channels out there, so he should be a happy camper for a few days, while I party with my girls.
