Every thing comes to an end

Saturday I met with Fred and his brothers, Will and Lowell. For a gabfest.

While Sherry was visiting with Friend Frances.

Then after the fellowship and discussions Fred wanted us to sing a little then fix his lawnmower, if we could.

Lowell, Will and yours truly.  We did manage to get the mower running and Fred smiled broadly.

Sunday evening we had dinner with Frances, Fred watched, because he never eats after 6PM. I told him I wish I had that determination.

Frances has entertained all over the world and her kitchen is always neat, with fresh fruit and veggies around. Below is the ‘beautiful and delicious vegetable soup.

Have you heard of a Cucumber sandwich? I have read the term, always wondered what it was. I asked the world traveler, Frances. YES, of course that sweet lady knew what I was talking about. So she fixed us a couple each. They are on the small dish, two small cucumber sandwiches and a cup cake.

Such a lovely evening with dear friends I had to take a picture of the Refrigerator pictures:

Top is Fred the Coastie a little before I knew him. the family picture is Fred, Frances and Frankie(their first) When we knew them.

Since Friends George and Donna were gone over the weekend, we met with them for breakfast before leaving this morning.

Me, Frances and Fred this morning. Aug 19th

Below George, Donna and my Sherry.

We had a great time. These couples are a joy to be around. Nothing negative.  We reluctantly left in the rain and headed down the road.

We always take a picture of the sign below, ‘Appalachian Trail Crossing’ We crossed the interstate on an underpass.  This is on the NC/TN border.  We always look for hikers to blow at, but none today…

We crossed into NC. We love these NC Mountains

Three hours later we entered Belmont, NC. Our small town we left 2 months and 2 days ago. We have had a great time a little over 6,000 miles on the motor home and  about 3,000 miles on the car running around at each destination spot.

What a wonderful trip, we honestly hated for it to end. We did finally get to meet Paula and John in the San Antonio area. Paula and I wrote a small book entitled ‘Toby’s Tales’ a couple years ago and I had never met her in person. That was a real thrill, and YEAH, she is sweet!

In Lincoln, NE, we met furry friend Spunky and his dad and mom (Joe and Lucy), also a delight and joy.  We met folks from other forums. Saw old friends from all over and Family in Utah.

Anyway we sadly dropped anchor to do some shipyard repairs to our Land yacht.

Thanks for stopping by.
