A Social Whirlwind

Spotted this beautiful cluster of mushrooms on a stroll through the RV park.  There were several of them and they were captivating!

I can't remember when I've had a busier time socially.  Thursday evening I had supper at Wayne and Mary Caldwell's beautiful home in Candler.  The food was great, the conversation lively and their home is warm and comfortable.  Friday I had lunch with my good high school buddy, David Rickman, and his wife, Madeline.  We dined at 12 Bones on a cool, sunny day and enjoyed each others' company greatly.  Last evening I dined with a favorite cousin, William Propest, and his lovely wife, Joyce.  We toasted the future and had a delicious meal along with stories of their travels and mine.  They're the best traveled couple I know.  I was having so much fun that I forgot to take pictures, but I did snag this one on a surprise visit to David the day before we had lunch.  David is a die hard Tar Heel fan and I caught him wearing this State tee shirt to use as blackmail somewhere down the road. 

It looks like he's trying to hide it!  Nice try, David!  We were very close growing up and the affinity is still there after all these years.  Good to be with you, brother!

Today Marcia is coming over for another scooter ride and tomorrow I hope to have the Burgman tagged so we can go for a ride on it.  The weather has been great for riding, in the mid to low 80's, with clear, blue skies.  Marcia and I continue to help each other heal from our losses while we appreciate the moments we have and live in the present.  I'm so glad we met at the reunion and have the chance to get to know each other.  She has become a good friend very quickly.  This pic says it well.

Well, I'm off to Jubilee in a few minutes, followed by visiting relatives in Reeves Cove and an afternoon scooter ride with Marcia.  Life is GOOD!!!!!!
