| Carol & me |
My sister, Janet and I set off on our sister trip. We went east on I-40. Our first stop was in Little Rock, AR to eat lunch with Carol, a longtime family friend. We had a good visit. Our next stop was Memphis at the Peabody Hotel to see the pampered ducks. Oops! We didn't know about all the road construction. That stop didn't happen. That's okay, all is good. On to Nashville and Knoxville. We stayed the night in Knoxville. It was pretty late and we were glad to get out of the car. We are both early risers so we were off bright and early about 8:00 ish to former neighbors of my sisters. They now live on 28 acres in Mill Springs, NC. Beautiful place. I really liked it. This is Saturday, and everyone wants to go hiking. Yeah! If you know me, you know this would not be my first choice of activity, but when in Rome do as the Romans do. We went on a short hike to see some waterfalls. They were pretty. The hike was steep and the ground was gravel. It was wet in some places, which worried me that it would be slippery. I made it! Well, that went so well, that we (they) wanted to do another hike.

| The beautiful waterfalls |
So we loaded up and went on another hike to see even more beautiful waterfalls. This hike included 3 water crossings each way and a boulder crossing each way. I took everything slow and easy and I made it with help here and there.
On Monday, we left Zeke, Janet's standard poodle, and we headed north.
We headed for Maryland. We were staying at the Inn BoonsBoro. If you read Nora Roberts, I a sure you loved the trilogy. It was so gorgeous down to the last detail. The whole town was like my imagination pictured it in the books. We were not disappointed.
We saw friends for dinner Tuesday and headed south on Wednesday. We picked up Zeke and headed home. We had a great week!
I spent a week at home, went to Kayla's to help out, and I have been home. It seemed like I spent most of the week in the car running kids to and from. Luckily, I only went to the wrong place once, but unfortunately it cost Madison and her friend laps because I got them there late. Sorry, girls!
I have been doing some cleaning out, sewing, working on school stuff, and enjoying some me time. Now we are caught up!
