Went to the Annual Olde Fashioned Hendersonville Christmas downtown tonight. They had hot apple cider, cookies, music and carriage rides. Since we waited patiently in line while the horses took a break, we were near the front and got to ride in the carriage instead of the wagon.

Went to Carowinds yesterday. It’s a nice amusement part in Charlotte. It was great! There weren’t hardly any lines because the weather was forcast to rain all day, but it hardly even sprinkled.

Ice Cave

January 20th, 2009

It’s been good and cold the last couple of weeks, so we decided to climb the mountain behind our house to visit the “ice cave”. It’s not really a cave, just an indentation where some big rocks stick into the mountain. Water drips over the face of it and in the winter it freezes into icicles. I haven’t seen them reach all the way to the ground before:

Neighborhood BBQ

September 26th, 2008

This year it was my turn to be in charge of the neighborhood picnic. I wanted to do something different for food and decided to make Texas Style Beef Brisket BBQ. I made a small practice brisket the weekend before and then cooked 25 lbs. for the picnic. We had over fifty people attended and I received many generous commnets about how good it was. The receipe is my brother Will’s and is posted on our homeowners association site: www.dellwoodhoa.org.

New Truck

July 27th, 2008

Well, its been eighteen years, and I’m sure you’re wondering when the day would come. I broke down and bought another truck. I also crossed over to the other side and bought a Chevy. Its a 2004 Silverado with only 64K miles on it. Its a 4.8 V8, auto, crank windows and vinyl floor. 2004 Chevy Silverado
