More From North Carolina

Steve and I are really enjoying our time in North Carolina. The weather has been pretty wet and you would think that would be upsetting, but actually we are taking it easy. We have gone to the movies, we have been renting movies, we have been able to take advantage of activities here at Lakewood RV Resort. 

I know I've said it before but this place really is great. Last Friday night the owners threw a party. Free food, free beer and wine, and a really good local band for free entertainment. The only problem was that it was the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. We ate, we socialized, we had a great time and still made it home in time to see the United States walk in. I just couldn't miss that. 

Steve and I did go visit our favorite German restaurant in Black Mountain and we had a wonderful schnitzel dinner. I have been practicing my dulcimer a lot. There are a couple other new players and we are taking advantage of extra practices together. Although the dulcimers are fewer than last year we have picked up a guitarist, the husband of one of the new players, and he used to play in a band and he is GOOD! It adds a whole new level to our little group. 

I did make it to one of the outlets and only found a onesie for Evelyn. Oh it's probably for the best. God knows Steve and I don't need anything, but heck sometimes it is fun to shop. 

So I guess what I'm trying to get across is, we are enjoying life, relaxing (as much as one can relax watching the olympics, our neighbors are probably thinking we are fighting cause there is yelling going on), but aside from that we are having a good time.
