Home again.

We got home about 3:15 - what a lovely day to drive through the mountains! We didn’t drive on a single interstate highway. It took about a hour longer, but we weren’t in a hurry. The slowest folks we got behind were motorcyclists - and that was unusual. We saw beautiful yards in the small towns, with lots of azaleas and rhododendrons in bloom - and even saw some mountain laurel along with highway near the SC/GA border. Those things don’t usual all bloom at the same time, but ????

We stayed at a Jameson Inn. I guess that’s a regional chain - one of the less expensive ones, but very clean and comfortable, with very pleasant and helpful staff. It was about $25/night less than a better-known chain. Who needs more than clean and quiet when all you’re going to do is sleep there - not us!

We did get some photos of everybody, but I’m going to wait to download them until the kitchen is finished - and do it all at once.

Some idiot wrote into our paper saying something to the effect that abortions should be outlawed because we need those babies to grow into the work force we need, so we’ll have enough money to pay Social Security to seniors. John suggested that maybe that’s why we should allow more illegal aliens into the country. He always has some creative ideas.
