Everything felt Christmasey at this Christmas town except for the weather, it was exceptionally nice and warm when we visited McAdenville last night.

I took my sisters and nephews visiting from…

Twas the Night before Christmas

"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Weekend Random Photos

I thought I would get to see the lunar eclipse this month, but honestly I don't even know if it were visible in our area.  I just have a hard time converting the time that they gave on the internet, some would give the Universal time and others Pacific time, and by the time I…

Biltmore Christmas Lights 2011

We visited Biltmore on Sunday to see the Christmas lights.  The decoration in the front lawn is not as nice as last year, but inside the house is as pretty as ever.  It's too bad that we can't take picture of the inside. We got there around 3:30pm (15:30) and had plenty of time to…

Last Weekend Before Christmas
