May 24, 2008 - Pittsburgh, PA

Did our marketing and post office this morning and then left Columbus. On our way to Pittsburgh, we stopped in Zanesville to look at some pottery. Bought a new pot for our dwarf lemon tree. The RV park we planned to stay in was just outside of Terentum which was 20 miles north of Pittsburgh. This was the closest RV park to downtown Pittsburgh. The GPS took us on a route that we thought would be OK until it took us down a very narrow country road and then we came upon a tunnel. The tunnel had a clearance of 10’ 6”. Naturally, I am driving and I am saying no way. Larry, being the optimist that he is, said, “sound your horn and stay in the middle.” So, off we went. We made it through the tunnel and then we went a little farther and hit a gravel road. The GPS said to keep going so we did. Finally, we saw a small sign that said Mountain Top RV park. It really was on top of a mountain - almost a mesa. Its was all green grass and very few trees. We told the owner of the park about the tunnel and he just laughed. He said, “you used your GPS didn’t you, instead of using the directions in the Woodalls”? He said that they try to tell people when they call for a reservation but some how they forgot to tell us. He said that a Prevost went through that tunnel and tore everything off the top, air conditioners and satellite dish, which then landed on his tow car. I guess we were very lucky that our RV isn’t real tall.

We quickly parked the RV and then changed our clothes because we had tickets to the baseball game downtown. We got directions from the park owner and off we went. It was so easy and most of the driving was on a freeway. What a difference from the way the GPS brought us. We found a place to park close to the stadium and walked into the park. It was a nicely designed baseball park and our seats were right behind home plate. Pittsburgh Pirates were playing the Chicago Cubs and we were surrounded by Cubs fans. The stadium is supposedly the best park in the nation with not one seat being farther than 88 feet from the home plate. We had a view of the downtown skyline and as it got darker, the buildings lit up. It was beautiful. The food was really good, had a cheeseburger that was actually grilled on a BBQ. The game went into overtime and finished in the 14th inning with Pittsburgh being the winner at 11:30 p.m. It was a great game and we had some nice people seated around us. By the time we got home it was 12:30 p.m. Very long day.

May 25, 2008 - Pittsburgh, PA

Got up this morning and decided to take a drive to Laurel Highlands where a house, “Fallingwater,“ was located. It was about an hour’s drive from our RV park. When we arrived, we were told that all the guided tours had been sold out but we could tour the grounds on our own. In 1935, Frank Lloyd Wright designed a modern vacation house for the Edgar J. Kaufmann family, extending it over a waterfall in a beautiful forest. The house was dedicated to outdoor living - a retreat from the hectic lifestyle that the Kaufmanns led in Pittsburgh. Local laborers built the main and guest houses between 1936 - 39, under the direction of self-taught buider and three of Wright’s apprentices. Immediately, it was hailed as a modern masterpiece, its reinforced concrete cantilevers extending out from a masonry core expressed a new freedom in structure. The family used Fallingwater until 1963, when Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., entrusted it to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.

It was fun walking the grounds and hearing the sound of Bear Run, a mountain stream that flows into the valley. Coming up the driveway to the house, you could see the cantilevered terraces. Huge glass windows looking out to the stream and forest. We walked to the back of the house and then up to the garage and guest quarters. Bedrooms for the Kaufmann’s servants were located above four carports. Walking toward the back of the guest quarters we found the spring-fed swimming pool.

Also, when the guest house/servants wing was built in 1939, Wright linked it to the main house with a canopied walkway. It’s also an engineering feat - folded concrete supported by posts only along the outer edge. We went to a view point where you could see the house and the Bear Run falls flowing next to the house. We walked back to the visitor center and had a quick lunch. We had to hurry back to Pittsburgh because we had a 4:30 reservation on a Duck tour at the Station House.

The Station House was located on the Monongahela River. Downtown Pittsburgh is known as the golden triangle because the Alleghany River and the Monongahela River are on each side of the downtown area and then come to a point where they merge and create the Ohio River.

At 4:30 p.m. we climbed aboard the big red duck. The DUKWs (pronounced duck) is a World War II amphibious vehicle. We toured the downtown streets and looked at all the tall buildings. Then they took us down by the water and we drove right into the Monongahela River. It was amazing to feel your self floating in the water when just prior to that you were driving on the streets of downtown Pittsburgh. We could see the skyline and also the football stadium. On the south side of the river at the very top was fine-dining restaurants and apartments. They built two inclines to help people get to the top easier and faster. The tour was fun and we got to see the city from a different viewpoint. Once again a long day but so much fun.

May 22-23, 2008 - Indiana and Ohio

Had a nice leisurely drive to Richmond, IN. We had a little rain but not too bad.

May 23, 2008 - Dayton, OH

Today we drove from Richmond, Indiana to Dayton, Ohio. We arrived around 11:00 at a Walmart where we disconnected the car and left the RV. We drove to David and Carolyn Schoeff’s house about 15 minutes away. David and I had worked together for several years at the D. Appleton Company. We hadn’t seen him for about 12 years. Carolyn (who we hadn’t met before) greeted us in the front yard. She made us feel right at home immediately. Their house is about 90 years old and has two floors and a basement. They were having the walls in some of the rooms redone to get rid of some of the cracks so the furniture was covered and the art work was off the walls. You still could visualize how it would look and the house was charming. Lots of dark wood and beautiful old-style windows. They had recently redone upstairs bathroom . It is absolutely gorgeous. They have used unique materials and designs to create a wonderful room. We enjoyed our tour of their house. They took us to lunch to a very nice restaurant in their community. We caught up on old acquaintances and family members. We had a wonderful visit with them and hope to keep in touch.

We left Dayton and drove to Columbus, Ohio where we had an appointment for a tour of the American Whistle Company. It is a very small company, only 10 employees. It was a quick tour. All the whistles are made out of brass because it helps give the whistle a better tone. The whistles are gold plated, brass, or nickel plated. They make 24k gold plated whistles for the Super Bowl referees. The New York Police Department orders 10,000 whistles every year. Some of the whistles are made for Walmart. We saw how the whistles were assembled and how the little ball gets inside the whistle. The ball used to be made of cork from Portugal. But, it got too expensive so they created their own synthetic cork. A machine squishes the ball and inserts it into the whistle. Once inside it expands to its original size. The company makes 5,000 whistles a day. We were very impressed with the creativity of the marketing and sales staff as to the different ways they have marketed their whistle.

May 18-21, 2008 - St. Louis, MO

Drove to the San Jose airport and had an easy flight back to St. Louis. It felt good to be back in our RV - in our own bed.

May 19, 2008 - St. Louis, MO

We went out to dinner at Sam’ Steakhouse to celebrate Sara’s graduation. Her graduation was actually the next day but she was going to be busy after the graduation ceremony. We had a great meal. We also learned that Rachel got her summer internship working for the fashion editor of ALIVE (a St. Louis magazine). She is very excited about the job and we are very proud of her too.

May 20, 2008 - St. Louis, MO

Went to Sara’s high school graduation that was held at a hockey arena. The whole process only took a couple of hours. I was amazed at how fast it actually went considering how many students were graduating. Went out to dinner after that with Melissa and Vic.

May 21, 2008 - St. Louis, MO

Larry dropped me off at Melissa’s. Melissa and I went to lunch and did some shopping. Vic, Melissa, Larry and I ordered Chinese food and sat around to watch the final American Idol episode. It was a fun and relaxing evening. We said our good byes and drove back to our RV Park.

May 16-18, 2008 - Monterey, CA

Got a wake up call from our friends, Bob and Jackie, who said they were on their way to meet us at the Inn for breakfast. We had a great visit with them and had lots to talk about since we had seen them last. We did a little gambling after our breakfast and then said our good byes. Drove over to Angela’s to pick up some things and then said our good byes to all of them. On the way to Monterey, we stopped to buy some artichokes at Pezzini’s. The artichokes were freshly picked and were a good size. Arrived at the Navy Lodge in Monterey around 4:00 p.m. It was 80 degrees and I had planned on the weather being much cooler. So Larry and I went to Macy’s so I could get a cooler top to wear to the graduation the next day. That evening we had a BBQ across from the lodge under a big Oak tree. There were about 35 people, all relatives of Sean and Christa. It was fun to see everyone - almost like a family reunion.

May 17, 2008 - Monterey, CA

Sean and Christa’s graduation was at 10:00 a.m. It was a gorgeous sunny day. It didn’t get too hot which was lucky for us since we were all sitting in the sun for a couple of hours. Christa graduated Cum Laude and with Honors of Distinction. We went to Lattitudes after the graduation and had a very nice lunch and I forgot my camera. The restaurant was located right on the water and the view was terrific. Doug and Lorie did a really nice job organizing it all and decorating all the tables. We were very proud of Christa and Sean and wished them well in their future endeavors.

May 15, 2008 - Sacramento, CA

Larry dropped me off at Angela’s and he went off to run errands. Angela, the boys and I went into town to do some shopping. We drove from Chico to our hotel so we could go swimming in the indoor pool. Larry wasn’t feeling well and said he wasn’t going to go swimming. We walked down to the pool and found out the pool was closed because the filter pump had gone off. Fortunately the spa was still working and was only at 86 degrees. So the boys got to get in and have some fun in the water. We went back to the room and changed our clothes. Left Larry in bed and went to lunch. After lunch we went back to Angela’s and waited for Shane to get home. Once Shane got home, we all piled into the car and went to the Glenn County Fair. Shane and Angela’s nieces, Audrey and Grace, were showing their steers with the 4H Club. The steers are so big and Grace’s steer wasn’t happy about being at the fair. He was foaming at the mouth and kicking his feet. We watched the judging for a while and then took the boys over to where the rides were located. Found out that Brody was too short to go on any of the rides. Cole went on rides with his friend Haley. Later, we took Brody over to one of the game booths to play a game. With his Dad’s help, he won a big blow-up hammer. He was delighted. Cole did the big hammer game and rung the bell. He too got a prize. I had a really fun time at the fair, it was unfortunate that Larry couldn't make it.

May 14, 2008 - Sacramento, CA

Got up at 4:00 a.m. Yuk! Just not used to getting up quite that early. Left for the airport around 5:00 a.m. Had a nice flight to Sacramento arriving around 10:30 a.m. Went to Dollar Rent a Car agency to get our rental car. Because we were dropping the car off in San Jose, they only had one car available. It was a big Dodge SUV. Boy did it use up the gas. Yikes! Larry dropped me off at Angela’s house and then he went on to check us in at the Vagabond Inn/Casino in Corning. It was good to see Angela and the boys. Larry and Shane arrived and we had a nice dinner and visit.

May 12-13, 2008

We had an easy drive to St. Louis. Went and had my nails done and then went to Melissa’s house. We went to dinner with Melissa, Rachel, Sara, John and Mark to celebrate a late Mother‘s Day. It was fun to see them all again and get caught up on what was happening in their lives. Sara and John were looking forward to their high school graduation.

May 13, 2008 - St. Louis, MO

Spent the day running errands and packing for our trip to California.

May 11, 2208 - Paduka, KY

It was very windy when we got up this morning and found out that there was a wind advisory warning. But, we left any way. We only had 130 miles to drive so we thought it would be OK. Larry drove the first half and I drove the second. The wind was awful - gusting up to 40 mph. One gust pushed right into the next lane. Yikes! I was really glad to get into our campground. Hopefully the wind will stop tomorrow.

May 9 - 10, 2008 - Nashville, TN

Left beautiful Asheville and headed to Nashville, TN. Tennessee is so green with all different kinds of trees and different shades of green. Lots of green grass everywhere. We stayed at a KOA campground and our site was surrounded by trees. Went for a walk after we arrived. Finally found a place that I felt comfortable to walk any distance. We had decided not to do any sightseeing for a couple of days. We both were getting a little tired of being on the go every day. Therefore, the rest of the day was a nice relaxing time.

May 10, 2008 - Nashville, TN

Went and looked at some smaller Rvs that were close by the campground. Still wrestling with what to do when we quit full timing. Keep our RV or get a smaller one. So right now we are just looking to get ideas. Had to go to Costco and the grocery store. Seems like the day just disappeared. That night we were watching TV and T-storm and tornado warnings kept coming on the screen. Big storm came in with lots of rain. Watched the storm tracker on TV until midnight to see if we were going to be OK. Thank goodness the bad part of the storm went south of us. Hate those tornadoes.

May 8, 2008 - Asheville, NC

Read an article about Hendersonville and it sounded like an interesting town to visit and it was only 20 miles south of Asheville. It was all freeway driving so it didn’t take us long. We found the Henderson County Curb Market. It is an unique farmers market requiring sellers to be residents of Henderson County and all items sold at the market must be either hand-made or locally grown. They had crafts, baked goods, jellies, plants, toys and fresh flowers. We took our time strolling through the building and Larry bought a jar of vegetable soup starter.

We drove to main street and parked the car so we could walk the six blocks each way. When we drove into town we saw statues of goats all decorated differently. The statues were bought by the merchants to raise money for different charities. Very similar to the statues of horses on the Outer Banks. The goats were used because Mrs. Carl Sandburg, who lived in the next town of Flat Rock, raised prize winning goats. There were so many cute and interesting shops and we took pictures of almost every goat. We also saw the McClintock Chime Clock which is about 65 years old. We had lunch at an Irish Pub that was excellent. Then we drove to the Oakdale Cemetery in town where we took pictures of a carved marble angel statue that Thomas Wolfe made constant references to in his first novel, “Look Homeward, Angel“. The angel is holding a lily in her left hand and extending her right hand upward. Thomas Wolfe’s father sold the statue to the Johnson family to mark the family plot in the cemetery.

We left Hendersonville and drove to Flat Rock. Flat Rock began when affluent Charlestonians, Europeans and prominent plantation owners of the South’s low country built large summer estates in the English manner. They came to escape the heat and the epidemic of yellow fever and malaria. They affectionately called Flat Rock, “The Little Charleston of the Mountains.“ We took a picture of Carl Sandburg’s house where he spent the last 22 years of his life. The house was built in 1838 on 264 acres where the family had a working farm which they called Conemara. Not much more to see so we drove back to our campground in Asheville.

May 7, 2008 - Asheville, NC

We went back to the estate at 10:00 a.m. George W. Vanderbilt was the grandson of “The Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt, and the youngest of 8 children of a family with a vast fortune in shipping and railroads. George, 27 years old, inherited a considerable sum and wanted to do something noteworthy. He hired Richard Morris Hunt to design the mansion and Frederick Law Olmsted to do the landscaping. The house is the equivalent of approximately 400 acres. It has 250 rooms and remains the largest home in the United States.

George officially opened the house on Christmas Eve of 1895. Three years later he brought his bride to live at the Biltmore. Their only child, Cornelia, was born in Biltmore House. George died in 1914 and his wife continued to manage the estate. Cornelia was married in the home and her two sons were born in the home. When they moved out, the house was opened to the public in 1930, responding to the request of the Asheville leaders hoping to increase area tourism during the depression.

We signed up for a Behind the Scenes tour and we ended up being the only two on the tour. Normally they have at least 16 people for each tour so we felt really lucky to have a personal tour. The guide took us into areas that the normal tour doesn’t cover such as the bachelor quarters, a view from above of the grand banquet hall and the pipe organ, Mrs. Vanderbilt’s bathroom (only bathroom in the home that had a tub and shower) and personal maid’s quarters, kitchen and the basement where the three big coal burners provided the steam for heat and hot water. We saw many of the big trunks that were used for their travel and one of them was a Louis Vitton trunk with the same design as today. Couldn’t imagine what that trunk must be worth now. The Biltmore was very advanced. When a guest pushed an ivory button on the wall of their room located on the fourth floor, it rang a buzzer in the kitchen and on a board an arrow would point to the room number. The kitchen staff would then ring the staff member for that floor and request that they go to that room to see what the guest was requesting. The staff member would then call the kitchen back and tell them a cup of coffee. The cup of coffee was put into a dumbwaiter and sent to the third floor. That is as high as the dumbwaiter went. Then a young staff member would get the cup of coffee and run it upstairs quickly. This young staff member was called a “Tweener” because they ran between the floors. There is a master clock and when that clock moved one minute it moved every clock in the home one minute so everyone was always working on the same time.

George and Edith were very good to their approximately 40 staff members. He refused to call them servants and instead called them his staff. He provided each member with a their own spacious and comfortable room. They worked from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and were paid based on New York wages. The house had a call box and telephone used to summon staff members to different areas of the vast house.

All guests had hot and cold running water and flushing toilets. When the Biltmore opened in 1895, the entire house had DC electricity and then when the city converted to AC, the hotel changed over to AC too. The house was originally built with both DC and AC electricity. There were two elevators, one for the staff and one for the guests. The guest elevator cost $250 to install and both elevators were put in by the Otis company. The original motor to run the guest elevator is still being used today.

We had lunch at the stable café. Our table was in what used to be one of the horse stalls. We had a nice lunch and had a glass of their wine. We next took an audio tour through the main part of the home. We were able to tour on our own and at our own pace.

When people were dining in the Banquet Hall, George wanted them to feel like they were in a castle. The banquet table had two leaves and extended to 42 feet and could accommodate 64 guests. There were three fireplaces on one end and up above on the other end was the pipe organ. Original tapestries still hang on the walls. It was a shame that pictures were not allowed because it was just incredible to see.

On the fourth floor is the Architectural Model Room. The centerpiece of this room is architect Richard Morris Hunt’s 1889 model of the Biltmore House. Hunt had the model built to show George Vanderbilt what he proposed for Vanderbilt’s estate.

Completing the tour led us back to our wonderful 400 square foot RV.

May 6, 2008 - Asheville, NC

The Blue Ridge Mountains is a beautiful area. Lots of green trees every where. We arrived at Wilson Riverfront RV park and we were amazed how nice it was. We have a big cement pad to park the RV on and when you walk to the back of the RV you are right on the edge of the French Broad river. Green grass and trees all around the camp sites. The best part is with our Passport America membership it works out to $15 a night with full hookups including cable TV. This is really cool.

We drove into Asheville and went to the visitor center. We bought our tour tickets for the Biltmore Mansion. We drove around Asheville and went to a toy store. I found some great wind-up toys for my collection. We were killing time because if we went into the Biltmore estate after 3:00 p.m. our ticket would be good for the next day.

Because we arrived at the estate after 3:00 p.m., we were limited as to what we could see and do. The Biltmore estate consists of 120,000 acres and was built as a working estate. Today there is the Biltmore House, winery, farm, Inn on Biltmore Estate, Deerpark (horses and carriage rides available) and the gardens. We decided to see the gardens and the winery since it was such a beautiful day. George Vanderbilt commissioned, Frederick Law Olmsted, whose designs included New York’s Central Park, to create the gardens and grounds for the estate.

The gardens consisted of the Italian, Shrub, Walled, Azalea, and Spring gardens. The walled garden is a four-acre formal garden. The flowerbeds are designed and planted in the “bedding out” style that was popular at the end of the 19th century. At the base of the Walled Garden is the Conservatory, designed by Richard Morris Hunt, this glass-roofed building houses exotic species and various other plants. The orchids in this building were unbelievable. The one flower, beside the orchids, that was fascinating was the Chinese Lantern. It was all so beautiful and the bright sunshine and blue sky certainly helped to make it a wonderful experience for us.

We sampled some wines at the winery and purchased a couple of bottles. We left the estate and drove back to the RV park.

May 5, 2008 - Greensboro, NC

Went to the Cummins service center this morning to get the new alternator installed. This time it is a DELCO and we hope that it works. Larry had been coughing a lot and I insisted that we go to an Urgent Care to make sure that it wasn’t going into his lungs. We waited for about an hour and the cold had started to go into his chest. The doctor prescribed a Zpac and cough medicine. Left there and went to Costco to get the prescriptions filled. When we came out of Costco there was a bolt of lightning with thunder immediately following the lightning. I think I jumped about 3 feet. It started raining and then it really came down. Drove back to Cummins and they had all the work done. Since it was still pouring down rain, we decided to spend the night in their parking lot and leave in the morning for Asheville.

May 4, 2008 - High Point, NC

What a beautiful day we woke up to this morning. We had our breakfast and then went to the Laundromat to do our laundry. It didn’t take us all that long, thank goodness. We drove back to the RV and dropped off the laundry and made our bed. Took off again to drive up to Rural Hall (just north of Winston-Salem) to look at Class C motor homes. We both agree that if and when we stop full-timing, we would still like to have a smaller RV. The RV dealer didn’t have much for us to see so we drove back to the park and sat outside. The weather was so warm and the sky so blue. A man came by in his scooter to visit with us. He was amazing. He told us that he built the park that we were staying in many years ago. He is now 90 years old and thinks that is mind is still OK. He looked much younger and he said that he had a very sweet lady friend who is 75 years old. He has a little dog that goes everywhere with him. He lives in his own house just around the corner from where we were staying. He said that he comes to the park everyday on his scooter to visit with people that are staying in the park. He enjoyed our conversation with him. Another great day.

May 3, 2008 High Point, NC

Cleaned up the front of the RV and then went to the grocery store. We wanted to go to the car races but the weather wasn’t cooperating. After lunch we went to the Angela Peterson Doll & Miniature Museum. It was an amazing collection of 2500 dolls from around the world, a Nativity scene with 50 rare creche dolls, more than 130 Shirley Temple dolls, Bette Ball dolls, bride & groom flea dolls, wax dolls, tin dolls, paper dolls, wooden dolls, rag dolls, straw dolls, and china dolls. They even had a collection of Steinbach Nutcrackers. Some of the dolls went back to the 1600 - 1800s. It was fun seeing so many different types from different countries too. Found a battery booster pak for sale at NAPA Autoparts. Decided that was a great thing to have after the RV wouldn’t start the day before. After we got back to the RV, I made some soup and we played cards.

May 1 & 2, 2008 - High Point, NC

While they installed the rebuilt alternator we drove back to Furnitureland south to meet with our sales rep. We had several questions for him about some of the furniture and we also wanted to take some additional pictures. We had lunch at Applebees and went back to Cummins. They were done with our RV and since it was getting so late we decided to go back to the City Park for the night. On our way back to the park, the voltage started dropping again. We called Cummins and they asked us to bring it back in the morning.

May 2 - High Point, NC

We took the RV into Cummins in the morning and it didn’t beep the whole way. They checked it out again while we went to breakfast. When we returned, they said that everything seemed to be OK. However, on our way to Asheville the warning signal went off again. We pulled into a rest area and called Cummins in Greensboro. They asked us to drive it back to them if we could make it. So, we turned around and headed back to Cummins. We did make it and they said they would check it out right away. We went to lunch and a movie. We saw Made of Honor which was really a sweet movie. Had to hurry back to Cummins because they close at 5:00 p.m. and it was a Friday. When we got back they informed us that they had to order another alternator because the one they installed wasn’t putting out enough voltage. We got in the RV and headed back to the City Park. Some how on the way back we got ourselves lost. It was hot and we didn’t want to turn on the AC and put extra stress on the alternator. It was crazy but we just couldn’t get our bearings. The streets criss-cross and my two maps didn’t jive either. Finally, we got on the right road and drove into the park. We pulled in front of the campsite we wanted and shut off the RV to disconnect the car. We got the car off and Larry went to start the RV and it was dead as a door nail. We were in the process of calling AAA when the camp host came by and said he had a Battery Booster Pac. The RV started right up and we backed into our site. Whew!!! Did we need a drink or what? The day from hell was finally over.

April 30, 2008 - High Point, NC

Went to Kernersville (about 12 miles from the Cummins service center). Once in town, we found the Korner’s Folly which is a house that was built by Jule Korner. Mr. Korner was an interior designer, decorator, and painter. He became famous as the painter of the Bull Durham bulls advertising campaign across the nation. In 1878 he built the house as a bachelor’s quarters, artists’ studio, office, billiard room, carriage house and stables. While the house was being built, a neighbor said the house will surely be Jule Korner’s Folly. Jule so enjoyed the concept that he dubbed the building “Korner’s Folly.“ In 1886 he got married and he and his wife decided that they wanted to make the house their permanent home. She did insist that the carriage house and stables be removed. The house has 22 rooms spread out over three floors and seven levels, with ceiling heights ranging from six feet to 25 feet. No two doors are alike, it has 15 fireplaces, cubbyholes, trap

doors and pivoting windows. All the floor and patio mosaic tiles took about two years to complete. Each piece was installed one at a time. Most of the furnishings were actually from the Korner collection. He designed most of the furniture and used the house to display his different designs for his interior design company. The house was fun and the furniture was unique.

































Aunt Dealy’s Cottage was built in 1885 right behind the Korner home. Jule built this house for his beloved former slave-nanny, Clara, known by everyone as Aunt Dealy. She raised Jule after his mother passed away when Jule was two years old. The house was originally only two rooms, but when the property was sold away from the folly grounds, it was enlarged and used as a rental property. The Korner’s Folly Foundation reclaimed the house and used it as the Foundation office.





We drove back to Greensboro and had lunch at Paneras. After lunch we took care of some errands including getting hair cuts. Then we went back to Furnitureland South to take some pictures of a few pieces of furniture that we liked. We had to hurry back to Cummins before they locked us out.
