... today in Statesville, NC and are staying at The Red Roof Inn. Had a delicious All You Can Eat Buffet at SHONEY'S, right next to the motel, for only $4.95 ea, senior discount (regular price $7.95 ea). Growing old does have its advantages.<br><br>While waiting in Roanoke this morning, received word that my dad was back in ...

... in each direction as it meanders its way thru Virginia and North Carolina on the way to the Great Smokey Mountains. We have covered 230 miles of the 469 total length so far and have had several encounters with local wildlife, mainly deer running out in front of us!!

... way and there was no easy way back to the Parkway other than retracing our route all the way back to Boone. It was like Asheville all over again! <br><br>On our way back to the Parkway we passed brightly coloured meadow flowers and realised that they were actually the first non-green vegetation that we had seen in quite some time. It was a beautiful afternoon and the next 35 or so miles of the journey saw ...

So after Greg and I had a final McDonald's flurry (they were so good- I hope the US Micky D's have these treats too), we went to the Earl's Court train station together, sat ourselves and our stuff down at platform 5 on the Piccdilly Line, and said a final prayer thanking the Lord for our trip and lifting each other other up to Him for various requests. It was an amazing time reflecting on all God did in our midst over the past 3 weeks, keeping us safe while allowing us parts in ...

So all the girls are in the dressing room and we're talking before the show. I start to change into my costume and all of a sudden the door swings open and some weird girl is peering in.

This is Brian's third time behind the keyboard, for those of you keeping track. We woke up today pretty late. We had some breakfast, read the paper and uploaded some songs onto our ipod. Carrie did a few more loads of laundry and then it was back to the kitchen for more food. Eventually we loaded up the Carr's car and headed into Virginia. We met up with David and Janet Hill and their son Brian. We all drove out to the Holler. That is ...

Today we took a day trip to Asheville with Aunt Linda and Uncle Dave. We got out of the house around ten and drove the hour and half to get to Asheville, NC. We stopped at the Mast General Store, one of my favorites to visit when I'm in this area. We shopped for a little bit, and then headed on over to the Biltmore Estate. Biltmore is the largest private residence in the US, I've been told. It's a castle, based on ...

Today was a nice, leisurely happening kind of day. Brian and I woke up late; Aunt Linda and Uncle Dave were nice enough to let us sleep in some. We had a big breakfast -- Aunt Linda made biscuits, sausage, and gravy. Uncle Dave cut up some fruit and made some scrambled eggs. It was delicious and, I'm sure, low fat. Well, even if it wasn't, it was great. After that, Dave and Brian went to get our tire fixed (the one that we had to change after ...
