WE HAVE CAPITULATED AND MOVED. Visit our new BLOGGING WEBSITE!
This does not mean that we will update any
more frequently than previously (once every
great while :) ). Nevertheless, please visit us!
December 6
On the spur of the moment a few of us decided to drive up to Asheville NC to Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa where the U.S. National Gingerbread “House” competition was being displayed. The whole thing was open to the public and was free (my favorite word!).
The rule for this competition was that whatever you used had to be edible and non-perishable. Didn't have to taste good mind you. We had so much fun trying to figure out the different things they used.
The whole thing was spectacular, the gingerbread (of course) and the resort!

(near Columbia)
During Curt's fall reading break, Dad & Mom V. with all the kids came down and they took us to this beautiful park on Lake Marion. They stayed in a cabin on land and we stayed with Abby in a smaller cabin on the pier. It was wonderful! THANK-YOU DAD & MOM!!!
Our cabin being right on the pier meant that Curt was able to do lots and lots of fishing. Too bad there weren't many bites to show for it. : (
Joe and one of his many little friends.

This was a fairwell evening that New Horizons Church had for us just before we left.
We spent half a day in Peterborough seeing the sights while Phillip was babysat by my parents.
