Biltmore Inn

I love the time in the Crusader RV. I traveled to Bryson City in the Smokey Mountains. On the way, I stopped at the famous Biltmore Inn and Estate – the largest private home in the US. I had read about it in a book of The 1000 Places to See Before You Die.  It was much better than I could have imagined.

Here are some of the pictures that do not do it justice.

The history of the estate is amazing and well worth the read and visit. The food was exceptional, scenery serine. It is like a Disney World for adults. So many things to see and do. Definitely need more than one day to explore and enjoy.

I Love My Mom!

My mom read books every night. Mysteries mostly. She would take me along with her to the Akron Public Library every Thursday night, where she would direct me to the children’s shelves while she selected at least 4-5 books for the next week’s reading. She would read from late evening until 2-3 am every night.

Being so artistic, she also enjoyed writing to people. The following was sent to me along with a couple of crochet doyleys. What an amazing woman! Insightful, able to teach by fable, ability to laugh at the moment, and uplift the soul.  Mom, I love you!
