Balsam Range

These are the incredibly talented gentlemen of Balsam Range, a well-known bluegrass group here in NC. We enjoyed their music at Thad Woods' New Year's Sing...first time we'd attended and it was quite an event. Thad knows many gospel musicians personally and was able to attract quite a group for this event.

ADORABLE CLAIRE

This little miss is just loaded with personality...she was such fun to photograph!

Our Favorite Place To Be in the Snow!!!

Snowing in North Carolina

We awoke this morning to blowing snow and 18 degrees! The snow is beautiful, and we're fortunate to be snug and warm inside. Parts of I-40 are closed in the area and people are being asked to stay off the roads. We drove our ranger down the hill to get a few of these pics...it was a quick trip!

Ellie & Elmo

Our adorable granddaughter has a thing for Elmo...she's quite taken with the Elmo Christmas stocking we gave her.

Adorable Family!

Here's precious Ethan and his great-looking parents! We had a ball with this little man..such a personality!

Annie & Alden's Colorado Wedding

Beautiful Waynesville

These flowers in front of the Waynesville sign were just too pretty to pass up! The weather was in the blissful 60s most days during our visit, but at this writing, it's 34 degrees and dropping with snow flurries...and yes, it's APRIL 13th!

Beautiful Mountain Snow!!!!

We wish you all a blessed and prosperous New Year! For our first post of 2008, we want to share where we spent New Year's Day...in the beautiful NC mountains, enjoying about 4 inches of SNOW! It was fun to be snowed in for a couple of days, but we don't plan to move to Green Bay...this stuff can get old fast!
