Our final weekend in Asheville was pretty quiet, and we departed early on Monday for our next stop. After six full weeks in North Carolina, we crossed the border into Virginia to start our journey back north. We stopped...
Before I get into the new stuff, I have an interesting update to my last post. As you’ll recall, we visited Winston Salem where RJ Reynolds tobacco company is headquartered. When he worked for Videk (a spinoff/subsidiary of Kodak),...
Tuesday was an “eclectic” day according to Mark…lots of variety! We started with a tour of “Korner’s Folly”, a home in Kernersville, NC. They bill it as “a house like no other” and I have to agree. The house...
