Al and Ava finally escaped the 93 degree Florida weather and took some time off to roam the mountains and check out the October leaf colors – their first few days were spent visiting Ava’s sister in Banner Elk, then they proceeded south to the lakehouse where we took a few short walks in-between ‘putting our feet up.’.
Al gave me some tips on ‘catching’ (I’ve never really had any trouble with the ‘fishing’ part).
Then Kim joined us and we took a stroll over to the nearby waterfall,
it was a short and very nice fall walk,
Where Ava found a rock to gather some mountain ‘Zen’ from the air.
And then Kim returned to work….
While we carried on……..
An I put this one in just because I like it – me, Dewey, Al, and Dowdy – long-time friends……
Haynie - simply put 
Glad you had fun. Life time friends are the best!
I miss them. Glad you had a great birthday!
