The Stars Are Aligned

Well... at least this is what AJ said.  He is watching the weather like a hawk, we are expecting snow and we could get up to 12 inches in this storm.  Chris had to go buy a shovel last night.  Stay tuned for a white weekend in North Carolina.

Ginger in NC

We had a special visitor this week, Ginger came to see us from Colorado. We wanted to let Ellie know that Ginger is on her way home. She will need lots of rest because she was REALLY busy! Thanks for sharing her with us.

The Blue Ridge Mountains - Tree Envy

So we went to Boone last weekend and nearly EVERYONE had a tree strapped to the top of their car.  At the time the practical side of me was thinking needles on the ground and potential fire.  Today my emotional side is thinking how great that tree would smell!  We have the steady eddie artificial (see fake) tree, no fun.

This picture was taken from the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It was really pretty but we made a mental note to come back next year in the fall to see the trees change.
