Mountain Retreat

This year's family mountain retreat took us to Bat Cave, NC.  The house really was great (like all those in the past), but like many of the mountain places we visit, getting there involved "turning off the paved road"! We had beautiful, but cool weather for two days and enjoyed hiking around the property and eating too much.  On Sunday morning we were surprised with about 4 inches of wet snow and still snowing!  It wasn't supposed to happen until 6pm!!  We thought we were stuck because there was no way 2 of our vehicles could get out of the very steep driveway.  Luckily, the owners had a friend/neighbor that came up and cleared us a path out!  As Bill would say, it just makes the story better.

Paper Jamz guitar was a popular and entertaining gift!

Moon Dough for Andrew - this stuff is amazing!


The gang!
