Let the drinking begin.

Last week it was a visit with my in-laws in Southern California, this week it’s a visit with my own family - parents, two sisters and their families - in Cashiers, North Carolina (apparently pronounced “CASHers by the locals). It hasn’t gotten off to a bad start. Last night found me ensconced cozily in a big overstuffed chair by a roaring fire watching snow falling through trees overlooking Lake Glenville. With a glass of wine in hand. It just doesn’t get a whole lot better than that. Except maybe morning finding me back in the same chair watching the sun rise into blue sky over sparkling water with coffee in hand.

The house is easily large enough to absorb all eleven of us as long as you don’t need uninterrupted access to a bathroom and the larders are crammed with every sort of edible and potable.

Once again, the sun is bright and I’m sunglassless - maintaining an unbroken record of never remembering to bring them along. It’s becoming an obsession. I’m taking pictures, but predictably do not have a cable to download them from the camera. In the mean time, here’s a link with some pictures of where we’re staying.

I predict a difficult transition back to real life, but let’s not think of that now. I’d rather think about lunch.
