One year ago, today:
Yesterday:
We ate brunch with friends who live in the Triangle--where we used to live. After brunch, they got in their car and headed up I-40 for the long ride home. Six years ago, we would have been doing the same, but we would have been lamenting the trip, at near tears for having to leave our beloved mountains. This time--as last year at this time--we instead turned our car toward those mountains, drove up the Blue Ridge Parkway to the top of the world, and breathed our gratitude.
Never shall we forget the blessings of this place.
