SEASONS CHANGE..AND SO DO WE !
Can it be ? The summer is gone, fall is here and
I have been absorbed in family, home and hearth-so to speak !

All good but time has flown during these last few months. Leslie arrived home from Amman, Jordan-leaving her USAID post after 2 1/2 years there. Two months of "R and R" went too quickly and now she is settling into her new post in Juba, South Sudan. As a critical post, she will be away for one year-but one year is still a long time !! While home it was great to spend time with family and friends....Winston-Salem, NC beach, NC mountains and then a special time on the west coast with Hopkins' friends in Napa Valley.
Duncan and I had lots of other summer events-mostly golf related-but still fun. The photo gallery walks you through our summer (mostly in the mountains) with guests, events and more guests. We have arrived to fall and the holidays-all too quickly! Most of the leaves have fallen and the High Meadows mountain takes on a whole new personality. Since this is our first winter with a mountain get away I am sure we will continue to commute to the mountains as the weather permits.
No excuses but many of you have sent wonderful updates that I have enjoyed. So sorry for not responding but once again I seem to have taken on too many projects-I made it through another Rally event (this a combo for the Rally and Arnie's Army)...."Rumble on the Mountain" and it was a huge success; I did enjoy working on the Silent Auction for this event. The Pinnacle partners met at the High Meadows home for a great retreat (although weather was terrible!!). Another "Witches & Warlocks" at the beach and in the mix several weeks of landscaping and also several months of an addition in the mountains. Next spring we will surely be settled !!!
Is one ever settled? Life is what keeps us busy and going-that I love. Hope you are enjoying 2012 as we head into the holiday season. My best to you and yours......
