Rain, Rain, Rain

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 67 degrees, high 73 degrees, rainy most of the day

Here we are, two days after I did a little clean up of the truck, and it's been raining most of the day. I've got to stop doing any cleaning on the truck or RV. Except when we need rain.

I was back home from my morning walk about 0900 hours, and it started raining soon after. We thought the rain would pass through quickly and clear up, but no such luck. Terri came over for lunch and stayed until about 1500 hours. The rest of the day was spent watching TV, reading, working on genealogy, and relaxing.

In the summer of 2007, we spent almost four weeks in the Hendersonville, North Carolina area. Why were we there? Well, we had just spent most of the summer in Florida and South Carolina and were looking for some relief from the hot weather. Hendersonville is in the foothills of the mountains and is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, as well as many scenic areas. The weather was cooler and we had access to all the scenic beauty of the mountains. One of my favorite attractions was the downtown area. There was an obvious attempt to preserve the older architecture of the center of town. In addition, Hendersonville used artists' impressions of bears placed around town to pique interest in the natural attractions of the area.






We visited this area many years ago when our daughters were children. At that time, the town was smaller with much more of a small town feeling. We used the area as a base to explore, and one of my fondest memories was taking Terri and Lori fishing for trout in a stocked pond. I think they would have fished the pond empty if I had let them. They had a great time catching the trout. I had a good time taking the fish off the hooks and putting bait on, and watching them enjoy themselves so much. The little things like that are what I remember with the most fondness.

More later, be safe.
