Grandfather Mountain, NC. with Steve and Anita

Spent a few days around new visiting our friends Steve and Anita in their new vacation home in Boone, NC area. We left the cats and Homey at Adele and Craigs in Carthage.
Steve and Anita have a nice, comfy home in a resort area of North Carolina.

Below is a video of our trip to Grandfather mountain. I will put a video on of their home on my next blog.

Christmas with the Simmons clan

Well....we had a nice one and a half week visit to Connecticut. I went to a Kenny Rogers Christmas concert with mom.....and did allot of shopping and preparing for Christmas Day.
Christmas was fun and crazy as usual...it was great to be with the family.
Jeff and I are now in North Carolina. We will spend New Years with some friends in Boone, NC. then head back to Carthage where we will stay for a little longer before we head south to Texas for most of the winter.
Below are some pics and two videos of our crazy Christmas day....these are long and probably will only be of interest to the family...but you are all welcome to watch.

I hope to post some pictures soon of our trip to Steve and Anitas.

World Famous Carthage Christmas Parade

Another fun event.
I don't know about the World Famous part...but that is how they advertise this parade. It seemed much smaller than the last time we saw it. Jeff and Adele both got lots of candy that were thrown from the floats.
It was a chilly night. Unlike the past two nights here. They are having record warm temps here. It was high seventies today, and will be in the seventies the next few days.
The fur boys want to be outside all the time now that it is warm.
So do we. We will enjoy it while we can, we leave on Monday for the cold northeast for Christmas....burrrr.
