Wednesday, November 11
On the road for 6 weeks.
42 Days.
"Home, James. And don't spare the horses."
Asheville, NC
Fresh with dew, the award-winning gardens of the
White Gate Inn
That morning the beautiful silver Tea Urn in the upstairs foyer had perfectly brewed tea for the guests. And our choice of a lovely bone china tea cup.
Before breakfast, I serenaded Denis on the Player Piano.
The Dining Room was all aglow with candlelight.
A young man and woman joined us at breakfast that morning. A military couple taking a break from their duties at Fort Bragg. The conversation was lively, mostly about our respective travels; babies, the young woman was an OB/GYN working in a busy maternity ward on base where up to 15 babies are delivered each day, and of course some reflections about the recent incident at Fort Hood.
Breakfast was elegantly sufficient, indeed...
Fresh Strawberries tossed with Vodka & Black Pepper
Creme Brulee Oatmeal
Almond & Mascarpone Tart
Leaving Asheville that morning, we added the last two vintage theatre marquees to the collection.
And one last splash of North Carolina Fall Foliage...
Our last stop was in Highlands, NC, where we stopped in to the Mountain Fresh Grocery for a sub made with farm fresh vegetables.
Excited to be so close to home and looking forward to some good old home cooking, we stocked up on gorgeous, fresh produce...
Oh, we were so close now!!!
The Majestic North Georgia Mountains.
3,600 Miles
My Hero!!!
We had chased the color for weeks, and now, we would enjoy it all over again in our precious Atlanta.
"Home Sweet Home"
We Did It!!
Thanks to every one of you that shared in this truly amazing adventure!
We love you!
Denis & Starr
Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus, we prayed that You would give Your Angels charge over us, to bear us up and lead us safely, to keep us throughout our journey and bring us home safely, and cause us to be a blessing every where we went. And so, we Thank You now, Amen.
