was decorated in true Victorian fashion. The pictures speak for themselves. View the badge of images on the right. The estate was magnificent, the dining elegant and the beauty of the mountains and the uniqueness of the crafts brought back to life a bygone age. We had a wonderful relaxing weekend and another terrific adventure.
Friends and Family, We can not be happier in North Carolina. The weather remains sunny and warm in the 70's. My flowers continue to bloom. Here is a picture of my hybrid Firefighter Rose (in honor of Paul and Jeff ) and my festooning bougainvillea. This weekend was much calmer than last. I did not jump out of any airplanes but we enjoyed dinner at the Bonefish Grille on Friday night, had a blast at Whole Foods, visited my parents, took in the new "Hereafter" movie ( very good btw) and cooked up shrimp scampi and sweet potato soup. We went to the gym both days and I did Pilates one day and Spinning class the next. My core aches!! Congratulations to Alaina and Nick on the birth of their new daughter Alexa Nicole.
