A while back, Frank received an invitation to play golf with Bobby Bowden in Cashiers, North Carolina. (Ok, there were a few more people in addition to Frank that received the same invitation.) We were looking forward to the trip for several reasons, but mainly because we hadn't seen Rick & Joanne since January! It was great to spend time with them and to meet other FSU folks. Unfortunately, Bobby stood us up! (Something about his dr. not letting him travel with an ear infection.) Oh well, his loss! We had a fun time anyway.

Whitewater Falls - the highest waterfall east of the Rockies!
Growing up, we would often go to NC for vacation and a few times stayed at a timeshare in Sapphire Valley. (It's been 25+ years since I've been back to that area.) As we were driving to Kathy's house, I saw the familiar Sapphire Valley sign! I couldn't believe it...she lived in Sapphire Valley! Just seeing that sign brought back memories of some fun times with the family.

She has an amazing home at the top of the mountain! What a view!
After leaving Highlands, we headed to Boone to get the house opened, spring plants planted and to check on the deck/landscaping project completed during the fall. Everything was beautiful! (A little chilly, but blue cloudless skies!)

Should be a postcard! View of Grandfather Mountain in the background.

Our trip to Boone was short, but very productive! The deer have enjoyed nearly all of the new landscaping that was done and I hope they will stay away from the new plantings!
