Odds and Ends-3

This was an experiment to see if I could put 2 pictures side-by-side, and it didn't work.  They show up that way in draft but not final..  Fall and spring, what a nice contrast.

When sister Barbara comes here to visit me in October, she'll be staying in the little cabin in the right of this photo.  It is very cute and cozy and about 15 paces from my place!  We're going to tour the parkway at the height of leaf season, lunch at the Grove Park Inn, and see the Biltmore House for starters.  We'll also visit some relatives together for the first time in many years.  It is so nice to look forward to her visit.

These beautiful flowers were beside the road as I walked around the rv park this afternoon.  I think they're phlox, but I might be mistaken.  Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. 

Saw the movie The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon and Emily Blunt this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it!  It's a fine love story and techies will like the ultra-cool gadgetry as well as the special effects.  Matt and Emily definitely had the chemistry going and it was easy for me to identify with their being in love.  The obstacles they encounter were anything but the usual ones, and the same is true for how they handled them.  I will see it again at some point because I liked it that much.  A good story, well told! 

Am riding the Burg to Raleigh this weekend to attend Vern Nelson's memorial service, attend Unity Church on Sunday and visit with my son, granddaughters and friends.  Also going to visit the dentist.  I thought about taking the truck, then I compared fuel costs for each: $160 vs. $32! And the weather is supposed to be very nice.  But, I have a new rain suit just in case it isn't.  After my encounter with the tropical storm last September on the Burg, I don't want to do that again!  That was way too much excitement for one day. 

Hope to get some fishing in before I leave on Saturday, either at Davidson River for trout or Lake Julian for bass/crappy/blue gills.  The wind needs to die down though then look out! 

Oh yeah.  Discovered a P F Changs nearby today, one of my favorite restaurants.  I have a very good friend who likes it, too, and I hope she can join me there before too long.

Thanks for stopping by!  Life is GOOD!!!
