The sun has returned and we're off to Jane and Sandy's for a visit. A couple years ago they sold the old house that they lived in for years and moved into a newer home. We saw the newer home just before they purchased it, but not since they redecorated. To get to Kingston we went around Asheville, NC and stopped at the NC Arts and Crafts Center which is located on the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway. Betsy went in to look at the stuff while Tipper and I waited outside. I started reading about the Parkway and learned that it's very much like The Trace--50 mph speed limit, no commercial traffic. It goes from the Great Smokey Mountain Park to Roanoke, VA. It was constructed as part of the 30's work programs. Could be another trip for us next year.
After our brief stop we got back on I-40 and headed to Knoxville and that took us through the mountains. Our little rig did just great. We finally found the mother load of Redbud trees. They are all along I-40 around Knoxville. Beautiful. We arrived in Kingston and parked the truck and trailer in Sandy's law office parking lot since their driveway was not big enough. Their new house is way up on a hill overlooking the town of Kingston and the Clinch River. Wow. What a view. I could sit up here all day and watch the river and the mountains off in the distance.
