Spending time with Barbara and Pat
Pat is the only one who gets time with Misty! Kathy made burritos one night and homemade chicken soup another, yum! There little one is the Cub!! Kathy remembers doing loops and swirls with Pat! Kathy and Barbara have been friends since 1987 when they roomed together for a aerospace workshop at Emery Riddle in Florida. It has been many years since they have spent time together so it was great fun catching up. Kathy and Barbara spent a day together. We stopped at the Executive Airport where the we checked on the EAA classes she organized for the students, found Einstines where we enjoyed Kathy enjoyed a pumpkin muffin and Barbara had a pumpkin bagel. Then we were off to the craft fair in Mount Dora. We stopped for lunch in a cute little tea shop. We stopped in to visit with Pat's Mom and to see the remodeling that was done to the house; love the windows! Kathy picked a giant grapefruit!

The Blue Ridge Parkway in the Fall
October 13, 2009 We enjoyed our coffee walking around checking out the waterfall and rocks.We got back on the Blue ridge at mile marker 300 near Grandfather Mountain. The leaves are breath taking with yellows, reds, oranges all with a slight burnt look that shines in the peeks of sunshine. The overlooks provide vistas that are breathtaking. Pockets of clouds in the valleys, sunshine on the hillsides with the colored leaves jumping out at the viewer. Wow! Met a couple from Virginia who ran away from their home farm leaving it to the kids to tend. This is their first trip in thirty years and they don’t have to be back at any certain time so they are enjoying day by day. The tunnel along the Blue ridge Parkway are spectacular; their arches are of cut stone and passing thru you can look about and see the chipped stone walls. There are no stop signs or traffic signals along this beautiful stretch of highway lined with archways of trees, visitas that are awe inspiring, trails that lead off i...
Blue Ridge Parkway in the Fall
October 12, 2009 It started off a fairly sunny day, but soon clubbered up. We had spent the night at the Stone Mountain Church at mile marker 222 of the Blue Ridge Parkway. We meandered the windy road following along the ridge line of the mountains. The leaves of golden oranges and burnt reds filled the hillsides. We had lunch at Sheets Gap.

Rain drops splashed on our windshield and we were lulled into our trip with the drip drop of rains and the whish of our wipers. We could see little from the sides of the roads, burnt colored leaves among the pines, green grass stopping abruptly for the gray ribbon of highway. We pushed on. There was a detour that put us on Idlewild Road ( not to be confused with Idlewild, PA). Down off the ridge we could see again, but it was still raining. We passed a Christmas tree farm or three. (Just abut 90 days t...
