Gus and I took a day from work and went to Banner Elk this weekend. We stayed 3 nights at Blue Ridge Village, our favorite time share condo. On Friday we found our first geocache - Gus found most of them but I did find one all by myself. It was a bit dirtier than we first realized but sure did get us out and walking! The temperature kept dropping and sure enough we woke up to snow Saturday! We picked out our Christmas tree and it has been blessed with snow! This is a family tradition we have honored for 32 years - since our first Christmas together when we cut a tree in the dark cause we had no money to buy one! We love going to the mountains in hope of getting one that has been snowed on. We did a wine tasting at Banner Elk Wine - a beautiful place to go to if you ever get the chance. We watched Appalachian beat Richmond with our feet up by the fireside - go Apps! So it has been a great weekend and I hate it has to end (along with the snow). Now to get ready for Christmas. Hope you will be enjoying your Christmas season too.
