Mountain Journey 2011
Twas the week before Thanksgiving and we are traveling once again to our favorite spot in the North Carolina mountains, Montreat. This is the first year that all of us are officially retired. What a great day for camaraderie and travel! Many plans have been discussed and ideas bandied abut. Who knows what we will do?The South Carolina Home apartments have under gone a great transformation. There are new appliances, new cupboards, new wardrobes. The apartments are truly lovely. My only concern is the lighting. There is very little lighting to brighten our corner when we are creating magnificent crafts.
We visited Waynesville, North Carolina. It is a neat town about an hour or so from Black Mountain. We dearly love the shops along their main thoroughfare which were being decorated for the holiday season. We especially like the shop where delicious chocolates are housed. Yum.
One of us purchased an apple peeler corer machine which is supposed to make quick work of peeling the luscious fruit. But it took us quite a while to figure out that darn machine. (We have since decided that the use of any machinery will not be a part of our list of crafting activities.)
On our way home we stopped at the Moose Cafe which is at the Western North Carolina Farmers' Marker off of I-40. The breakfast was delicious. Their biscuits and apple butter are the best.
We traveled down the mountains to another delightful spot: The Dish Barn The selection of dinnerware and other knickknacks is wonderful.This was another wondeful, relaxing trip. Looking forward to next year.
