Thursday we connected with Paula, Mark’s sister, and caught up with family news. It was good to see her … after the Covid years. We had dinner at the Olive Garden!
Friday, after catching up on our sleep, Mark and I drove to Maggie Valley and Waynesville. Those were areas we enjoyed RVing in. Despite the extensive Hurricane Helene devastation in and around Asheville, that area was in good shape. There was tree damage, but not excessive flooding.
We had lunch at the buttered biscuit, a favorite when we were RVing in the area.
We took a drive around Waynesville and found a large group protesting our government issues of the day. There were plenty of signs about Trump and Elon.

At 6:30 yesterday we met everyone at Asheville‘s Applebee’s for a big family dinner. It was a big noisy bunch. We had a great time.
L-R Paula, Mark, me, Jonathan, Lindsay, Savannah, Scout, Marshall, Brian, Austin, Fallon and Olivia! Abby and Jeremy joined the group about 8 o’clock. They had been at a dinner with Abby’s out of town family. What fun!!!
Now today, Saturday, is Abby and Jeremy’s “round two” Of their wedding. Due to hurricane Helene, the reception had been postponed. Things were flooded, no electricity, no hotels ipen and the airport closed. They were able to get married in the church! So, tonight is their reception!!! 🥳
