Finally, PHOTOS!!! thanks to Jeff mailing the power cord & George delivering it on his fancy-dancy motorcycle to us after a (hopefully scenic) tour of Lenoir. (George managed this in spite of my directions where I failed to mention two major turns… I also failed to take his photo – where WAS my brain yesterday!)
Photo 1 – John delivering the dog food when we dropped off Red at Leigh & Bruce’s. Harpo (their dog) morphed quickly into a doggie vacuum. You would be surprised how many individual nuggets there are in a 20 pound bag of dog food.
Photo 2 – Octoberfest ladies – Pat (Vicki’s mother), Gail (Vicki’s best friend), Vicki, Frank (Vicki’s father) (Would you ever guess Vicki is happy to once again be living in North Carolina?)
Photo 3 – Octoberfest guys – Frank (remember him?), Harry (Gail’s husband), George & John (notice their drinks are in true German fashion – how on earth do those German waitresses carry four of those mugs in each hand during the Octoberfest? You do NOT want to mess with them!)
Photo 4 – Vicki & George in front of their new home in Hickory (although it doesn’t show in the photo, Vicki & George added North Carolina to Tillie’s “I’ve been there” map)
Photo 5 – Charlie, John, Malin, Marge in Marge’s kitchen. Charlie built the house for her and did an absolutely WONDERFUL job.
Photo 6 – John & Patty hosting Bonnie & Dave (Patty’s cousins) at the campsite. (John is standing off to one side because he’d been working in the hot sun all day on a roof – believe me, not even good wife Patty wanted him any closer at that point in time!)
Photo 7 – One of the Habitat houses we’re working on - the real purpose for the trip. They are doing a GREAT job here in Lenoir and feeding us VERY well. Lunches every day and this makes the third night in a row dinner has been provided. We’re all asking where the nearest thrift shop is so we can buy bigger pants!
