Pittsboro, Mills River, Hendersonville, Pittsboro, NC

 We took a little flight to practice some instrument approaches in the morning.....uneventful - the best kind of flight!

 

And we packed up and drove up to the mountains for a quick visit.  (Decided not to fly since the return flight weather looked stormy).  Next weekend is Mom's 80th!!! birthday - so the kids are a get-together to build her a little porch cover over her patio.  Some measurements and planning needed to be done ahead of time.

 

But there was time for visiting with Mom and Denise.

 

A tour of the garden was given - the greenhouse is ready for some fall/winter experimenting!

 

And always fun to peek at Mills River (which is a creek by our standards now).

 

And the main event for the weekend was the McCraw family reunion.  This year there were outside tables provide on a lovely fall mountain day.

 

As usual, wonderful spoonfuls to taste as many items as I could. 

 

Fun seeing the usual suspects that we see every year or so plus a few we hadn't seen in years.

 

A pleasant visit and an uneventful drive back home.
