Have enjoyed reading the posts here. MaryAnnMac, do you go out riding with your husband? My husband has always been crazy about motorcycles and I hated them. About 20 years ago we tried out a large cruiser bike and I've been holding down the back seat ever since and loving every minute of it (except when it rains). I am comfortable and relaxed. Wonderful way to see the countryside and get fresh air. In fact, next week we are going to a touring rally where we'll spend 7 days and do this annually. I find I have plenty of time to myself to sew while he's doing his hunting and fishing thing. Biking is one of the things we now both enjoy.
Jan, I love your cabin. So authentic and cozy looking. Several times while driving through VA on our way to TN to visit friends, I have thought of you and your many references to your cabin. Blue Ridge Mt. area is so pretty.
