Daughter Kate Comes to Visit

Uncategorized 1 Minute

The day after daughter Kate drove down from New Jersey, we walked to the stop sign with neighbor Brit and grandson David. I normally walk in the morning, but this was Sunday afternoon. It was dark by the time we got home.

Because David had an appointment, we went to the closest restaurant, only to find it had closed early that day. We drove a bit further to get dumplings at a favorite Chinese restaurant. He still had plenty of time to meet the person he was seeing.

The three of us love going on the Blue Ridge Parkway, so we did that early in the visit. On the way, we went to my favorite waterfall, Sunburst.

Later, driving on the parkway, we spotted any number of mountain ash trees with their red berries. I have never before seen so many of those trees with such vibrant fruit. As far as I know, the berries are not edible.

Back home, Logan saw us on the porch and came over to visit. He lured David out to pass a football, probably long enough to make David sore. Can you see the football in the air above them? That was a happy photographic accident.

Kate and Kacey stayed out of the way while watching the fellows.

Another day David went to the dentist for his checkup while Kate and I got my car inspected. I am not currently driving because of my eyesight, but we keep the car here as a spare for David or wheels for Lise when she visits. Later that day, David, Kate and Kacey burned the garden trash. The fire was hot enough to make the K’s move back so that only David was near the fire.

  2. I love your family visits. We have been loving our time and visits in Ohio so far, I wish I could blog about it but while in this hotel, the wifi seems too weak to do what I need to do. It won’t down load pics or stay updated long enough to put a post together, so it may have to wait until I get home.

    1. It’s fairly cool. Kate and David have gone hiking in the mountains today. I gladly stayed home with the dog, not wanting to walk on uneven ground. Dogs aren’t allowed in many places in the Smokies.
