Travel

Vj & I were in Asheville for most of last week to view the the color and enjoy the Grove park . The colors have not arrived , but the rest of the trip was great. The mountains have not had frost yet in the lower evaluation , so another week should see a different canvas . We got up Thursday morning to a cool bright day in Asheville , so we thought it would be a good time to visit the summit on Mt Mitchell. We arrived at the lodge which is not all the way to the top , the temp was 40f the wind out of the north steady 20kt and the fog was dense enough to block all view beyond 20 yards. We had lunch and returned to the hotel. Vj found a clothing store she liked in downtown Asheville and bought lots of stuff. Asheville has been discovered in the word of a local merchant and it seem folk of all strips have come to town.The town has always reminded me of 1965 , the art crowd is there is force and the old hippies have found an east coast home. It is a great place to visit and would be a great place to live , but I would not enjoy the winters.
We had a great surprise , when we meet Jim & son Bryan who were there on there annual fishing trip, I ask them what happen to the camping out I use to hear about, they said age took care of all of that foolishness. We had a dinner together and a nice visit. Jim is getting married ???

Back on the home front we have been without a dishwasher for a week now ,purchased two from Lowe's. The first one would not work because of the counter tops which i pointed out to the sale person before i close the deal on the first . There are no more sales people only order takers.Got the house & roof washed while we were gone , it looks like a new paint job.

Sj & family will be here next weekend and we are looking forward to there visit. I spoke to Bj a couple of time last week he is doing well and I hope he will visit also next weekend.

Vj has two appointment next week on @ Rex and the other @ Duke .A mix up in her drug supply has cause her to miss a week of the TET. We are not sure any of the new Med she has started have made any difference in her HD. Her balance is about gone , we used her wheel chair last week on the trip , without it we would not have been able to make the trip at all .Her speech and my hearing are both getting poor , not a good combo. Good new her vision has returned to normal after the cataract surgery.

Great fall day for golf and out to supper.

Life is good.
