Last Friday, early in the morning, as you know by now, the four of us took of for Dillsboro, N.C. Actually we did not fly, so we did not take off....we drove...actually Sandy drove... We got to Dillsboro and I immediately had to mail something I sold on EBay to someone in London, England...so I went to the post office and the guys hung out...... here they are....
We could not check into the room at the Jarrett House until between 2:30 PM and 3:00PM so we parked the car and started walking the town..... of course, shopping was included for the ladies and the gents hung out on the many conveniently located park benches....we parked ourselves.........while sitting on one, we could watch this fountain....
A couple of other sights as we sat and they shopped....
Then we saw a TRAIN......... and stood by it........... very touristy....
don't you think? Well we continued on our way, ate lunch, and shopped, sat, and it became time to check into the Jarrett House, so we did..... After a little while, we went out on the deck and Dennis and I had some beverages (adult type) and the ladies went to the Christmas store....
Here we all are on the deck before the final shopping spree..................After enjoying ourselves hugely on the deck.... we changed cloths and headed to the train station....
Where we sat and had complimentary cheese, crackers, and wine......
And boarded our dining car.............................the Silver Meteor........
Where me met our waiter..........Sean,
ordered our drinks and food and......
Had dinner and a play on the Great Smokey Mountain Railway......
So, remember, take good care of yourself so you can take good care of someone else.... it is great to have friends like Dennis and Marie.... cheers, john
