This being my busiest time of year, this is also the time of year that people like to come up and visit ... before the chill of late fall and winter. Personally, I recommend late April, early May when the Falls are at their best but I also love winter with snow on the trees and ground. Every season has its own special draw.
I have a long-time girlfriend (since 1957) coming late this afternoon for a couple of days. After an 8 - 9 hour drive today, we may or may not do the park tomorrow. She really wants to see it but her butt may revolt at getting back in a car that soon. This is the year of our 50th high school reunion. The economy being what it is, we've decided that the two of us can reunite and talk about everyone else. Besides, we'll be able to remember them as they looked 10 - 20 years ago or more and not as they look today.
I love having family and friends come to visit. My stepson tells me I can look for him toward the end of the month. Then in another couple of months the mountain road will be dark early, the weather will be rainy and/or snowy and no flatlander will remember me until the sun comes out and brings longer, warmer days again in May/June.
Dinner's in the crockpot, errands were run yesterday. Today I'll go out and make sure Katie hasn't left any unwanted surprises for either of us to step in and take the blower to the deck & front drive, 'cause the oak leaves have carpeted everything, and then I'll sit in my porch rocker enjoying my view and waiting for Karen's car to turn in to the drive. Hugs & puppy kisses to you all.
