GrandFather Mountain

Dan and I went on an adventure. We ended up at Grandfather Mountain near Blowing Rock, NC. The dogs did great until we got to the suspension bridge and Abby put her brakes on. Dan stayed on the starting end and I went across by myself. This suspenion bridge spans a gorge in between the two peaks of Grandfather mountain. Very cool until the wind picks up.







Some nice folks took my picture.

We stopped at Blowing Rock and let the dogs walk some.

Nice view. As big a view as Grand Canyon!!!
Blue Atlas Cedar. At my work.

JUNE 2 , 2009Well it's been one year and we still love it. As you can see the vast improvements we've made and with very little effort.




HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!
The opening picture is a photo of 4 kitttens Kathy rescued from a client. Any one want a pretty kitty?



When Gramma come she always brings her jewelry so it's like Christmas. Every one got something. Even Dan got a new belt buckle from Grampa.

Boston is our bug terminator. Here he is on patrol.


Of course watching this in person is alot funnier.







Well thing got buzing when Mom and Dad got here in May. I know it June already but time flies...

Dad helped me get started on revamping the old well cover. We removed the cover and cleaned it up to find a very well made well house. So after disscusing our options I asked Santa for a pergola for the vines to grow upon, and I got my wish.

So the two climbing roses and Fall flowering clematis and Swamp Jasmine all are happy and doing very well. Danny is thinking about caping the well head and making a fountain out of the well house. More to follow. While Gramma and Grampa were visiting we got to the farmer's market and piged out on strawberries and froze a ton for the future. Got some great wine and enjoyed the fire pit. We rescreened Beepa's porch and added new lattice.She also repainted her house over the last three weeks. It took a while due to the rain we've been getting.

I got a biopsy of the thyroid and found out I have Old Lady Goirter.( Not a medical term.)Well I am 50. Nothing to it just getting old.

Cort had her 22 birthday. And went to the beach with her friends for the day. Beepa and Dan rented a Bobcat got some grading done and spread some more stone around her house and along the driveway. All that work!

We were very tired.


Got to go on a new "Benture" Love you Guys blog again soon Love Deb and Dan
