I finished my workout at the hotel gym this afternoon and as I was walking past the front desk on the way back to my room, Hobbs (yeah, the front desk clerk is named Hobbs) said, “Mr. Wetherington, I have something for you that arrived today.” and then he handed me the postcard below from my oldest grandchildren, Mikey & Heather.
Talk about a day brightener!
I scanned the front and back so I could share it with you.
I looked up from my laptop screen yesterday to see this.
I guess he was really thirsty!
Our friend Art and his son Artie were Cindy’s guests tonight for dinner (her homemade spaghetti, Mmmmm) and hot showers for both of them. Art has been building his log cabin up on Sheepback Mountain on his own from the ground up for the past 4 years. By “on his own” I mean he cleared the land, cut down the trees, stripped the bark and laid each log for the walls, framed the roof, hung doors and windows, and this week he and his son are chinking the spaces between the logs in order to hold in more heat this winter. He’s done it all!
While visiting Wolf’s Haven this evening, Art and son Artie (with Artie’s GoPro camera) took a walk down to our creek and I thought I’d share it with you. This second video is a shorter one showing the creek flowing.
Makes me homesick 🙂
This is an amusing video.
She’s our little diva!
Here’s the first of a series of posts that will be appearing on this blog under the header of “Postcards From Maggie Valley” which will consist of photos I have taken in and around my home of Maggie Valley, North Carolina.
This is the “Welcome to Maggie Valley” sign on the west end of the main highway through town, Soco Road, taken on September 20, 2010.
