HELLO FROM NORTH CAROLINA

Hello every one; well we are finally here, this is how it looked when we left on Sat. morning. It seemed to follow us all the way.. But the closer we came South the sunshine popped out.. I took some photos along the way, to show you all. It is very pretty down here,,,, or is it over here.. lol any way it was a long trip.

I tried to get some good pictures from the truck so I hope you can see them fairly well, just click to make them larger to  see them better... I took lots so I don't remember where we were, but I will try,,,,,, lol  you know me;;;;;;;;;;;;;;  for the most part they are all of N.C.

I just had to take a photo of this Memorial, it is so great to see them honored like this.  I hope you can read what is says,,,  oh and if you look real hard you can see me taking the photo,,, I'm in the hat........ 

Now this was inside the Welcome Center rest stop in Tenn. Now I had to run back to the truck and grab my camera to get a shot of this... Wow what a Welcome....... 

Don't remember the name of this beautiful river, but I do remember where it was,,,,,  Tenn..   I had to be fast with taking the pictures, it was hard to capture some really great ones, going 70 mph....  I asked hubby to stop and pull over so I could get some better shots,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but for some reason he did not want to on a 4 lane interstate,,,,,,, well I didn't see anything wrong with that,  would you?????? 

Oh look a tunnel under the mountain. It was not very long,,, good thing too made me a little nervous.  We went through two of them.

OK  I just love how they make it so simple to decide which way to go, don't you.......

In some area's along the way you could see mist coming off the mountains, they are so pretty...  ok I will stop with the photos now...  It was so hard to say good bye to my grand kids and kids, my oldest Daughter Heather spent the last night with us before we left, she was such a huge help in getting a few things packed. Then she sat by me on the sofa most of the night, and wept some,,,, we have not been apart like this. It is hard on her, and for Chas, but when the Lord says here is where I want you to be,,, well we have to go.     Hubby and I found a great Apartment Complex to rent from,,, when we start getting some $$ saved. It is so close to his work that he could walk to it... I will do a post on it soon.  Well ladies that is about it for now, I hope you enjoyed my post and photos...  Thank you all for the kind well wishes and safe travels, you are the best......  Until next time; God Bless;

Hugs;
