Here I am, in Asheville NC, (wishing like mad I could post my photos... but I'm not on the laptop, I'm on a borrowed Mac ...mmmmm Mac) listening to the soundtrack of tomorrow's wedding being rehearsed by the band upstairs.
I'm loving Asheville, Ash and I took to each other as you might have expected after a 5 year e-friendship. Right where we left off talking long into the night about life, the universe and everything. We've been from Asheville to Greensboro for a work conference (bonus... tax deductible) and surprised the guys from work who had no idea I'd be there! That was cool, the conference was excellent and now the hours are ticking away toward the big moment tomorrow at 3pm!
I spent the day at Biltmore House, being a tourist with a couple of the other guests from out of town and had a wonderful time checking out this amazing place. It's a palace! Even now, a hundred years later it is still the biggest privately owned home in the US.
I've been out on the Blue Ridge Parkway perhaps a little early for the most glorious of 'fall' colour but I'll post some photos when I'm somewhere that's internet friendly. It sure looks as though it will be glorious in a few weeks... wish I was staying longer!!
And tomorrow, when the wedding is over I'll be hanging with a new friend 'Parker' and after church on Sunday will be back to the airport for the cross country trip to San Francisco CA.
This trip is going way fast, I'm loving it, but it will be a bit of a wrench leaving Ash and MacDougal as they head off on their honeymoon tomorrow evening. I tear up about it even now... but Sunday's another day, and next week another new adventure. Looking forward to some quality time with My Pressshus. Will post the results on flickr too... Possibly not till next week...
Anyway, I've got a ramble going on so will sign off. Am a bit heady with a cold *sniff* and tanked up on coool American over the counter drugs... Alllllriggggght.
See ya next week!
