This Past Sunday's Excursion

This past Sunday we stopped picked up a couple of sub sandwiches and drove up to Lake Jocassee in the later part of the afternoon. The lake is so low, just shows how desperate the south is needing water even the thou this lake has plenty of depth to it. Pretty quiet afternoon at the lake, a few families down by the water and a few boats that came up to the ramp where we were at. I have posted the rest of the pictures on my webshots page.

Unfortunately my next Sunday's excursion will be to work - nothing to take pictures of.

Taxes Are Done and Filed

Today I finally finished our taxes and for once I'm not writing a check - YIPPEEE!! I did start on them about a month ago so I knew that we were in pretty good shape but I still procrastinated to almost the bitter end - thank goodness for e-file.

After I finished the taxes we took off to the mountains to get away for a few hours. The first stop was what I thought was a winery, fields and fields of grape vines, a nice looking Inn and Restaurant that had a real Tuscan feel. Stopped in the Inn for some information. No Winery, they sell their grapes - ??? - nearest Winery 14 miles away - ??? - looked like a real miss on their part - prefect place to open one up, should have taken a picture.

Ok back in to the car for more riding decided to go to Tryon NC and then back home. Stopped in Tryon for dinner at the local pub, they had a live band playing loudly for a small place. A couple of beers and a quick meal we were on the road again to go around Lake Lure. The picture above is the lakes version of Charleston's Color Row. Its a very peaceful lake even though just about every foot of shore line has a building on it or near it. I uploaded more pictures of the lake on my webshots page in the album 2008.

We were home by 6 and getting ready for the work week ahead and there still is laundry to do.
