Blue Ridge trip

We headed to Blue Ridge this weekend with some friends for a little r & r . The cabin we rented was AWESOME!!! Lots of room, an "extreme" game room...complete with a jukebox that had really good tunes, a trout stream right out the back door and LOTS OF SNOW!!!

We arrived late Thursday, so had to go to town for groceries Friday morning. We knew some winter precipitation was headed our way, but had no idea it was coming so soon. We were in the check-out line at Ingles with over 100 fellow shoppers as we loaded up on our "provisions." Never in my life have I seen that many people checking out at once!

The trip back to the cabin took much longer than usual, as we had to drive 10-15 mph the whole way. The snow was really coming down and all you could see were the tire tracks from the car in front of you. Me being a person that even hates to drive in the rain was scared to death!!! The closer we got to the cabin, the better I felt...until I saw a little old lady in her big Mercury slide around a bit on the road in front of us. I tried to keep my cool (although I really wanted to park the turck and call Keith to come get us) and we finally arrived home. Thanks goodness I had Kelly to keep me sane on that drive home!


After a little more snow fell (and a brainstorming session on what we could use to sled down the driveway) I see Mike come around the side of the house with a pink pool float...and the F-U-N began! All four of us took turns sledding down the hill. We made snow angels, the bottom ball of a snowman and plenty of snowballs before heading inside since it was getting dark. A good time was definitely had by all!
