DOWNTOWN !!

Where to begin ?  Home again and on the road - never a moment wasted.  Time to enjoy the view, experience the music spend time with family and friends.  In no particular order, the past two months have been filled non-stop.  Visits from out of town friends and family ... Leslie spent weeks in D.C training and ended her trip with a brief visit in Winston-my Mom joined us as well as a quick visit from Blake-celebrating Leslie's birthday !  Lindsay, Heather & Chris (high school friends) joined us at the DASH baseball game where it proceeded to rain buckets-no game but still fun.  Golf at beach, the mountains, in Winston and then there is music from "Brother Josephus and the Love Revolution", to "Westend Mambo" to the "Holy Ghost Revival", then the Heavy Rebel Weekender with a great car show and mud wrestling.  A great weekend with Yates-afternoon visit to a local winery that was charming -Sanders Ridge.  Indeed there is something for everyone !  WE LOVE DOWNTOWN !
