Fred is not playing nice with us. It was raining when we woke up and it’s raining now and it will rain until sometime tomorrow morning with the all too infrequent break. I’ve kept a lookout on a couple of rocks in the creek across the road all day – when both went underwater I started to keep track of the biggest one and now it’s almost underwater. Fortunately we are perched high above the road so as long as the whole house doesn’t slide down the hillside we will be fine. As we sit here watching TV tonight, when the rain gets heavier we lose the Dish signal and the lights blink. Yeah, I know, first world problems. Keep Haiti and Afghanistan in your prayers.
Jammie time lasted extra long this morning until MBH said let’s go out for lunch. So we put our game faces on, clothes too, and drove to Spruce Pine again for lunch and were surprised that place was hopping on a rainy Tuesday (it is Tuesday, isn’t it?) noon unlike a nice Sunday night. I kind of like the drive there because you can consistently go 55 mph on the stretch on NC 226. The start on 226A and the end on Roan road I briefly make it to 35 mph. When we head to Charlotte on the interstate I won’t know what to do with myself.
Pictures today are from earlier in the trip.
