Hello friends near and far! Last week, Sharon and I hosted a small gathering of camping friends here in The Holler. In a normal year, under normal camping circumstances, we would be hosting 60+ trailers and 120+ campers at the Annual Blue Ridge Rally. Since the 13th BRR got cancelled last May, Sharon decided that enough North & South Carolina folks might like to escape the August heat and head for my hills. On Sunday, a merry little band of 12 rolled into the campground for a week of fellowship and fun. Everyone wore a mask and practiced social distancing to keep things safe. At the big Blue Ridge Rally, Sharon plans oodles of activities to keep folks busy and introduce them to our beloved mountains. But at our small do-da last week, we held campfires each night, went kayaking on the New River on Wednesday morning, played bingo on Thursday morning, made a trip over to Thistle Meadow Winery in Laurel Springs, and that was it! Every single person that attended agreed that this was just what the doctor ordered and was "good medicine". Here are our friends . . . While there, Sharon and Becky got take-out BLTs from Rodies, took a Wednesday drive on the Parkway to the Mast Store in Valle Crucis, strolled the campground, enjoyed visits from friends, and totally relaxed in between. Here are some extra snapshots of their week. Not seeing all our camping buddies in 2020 has been hard. We are so used to meeting and greeting them several times in a season, so this week in the Holler with them was extra special, not to mention "good medicine".
Thanks for stopping by for a visit yourselves! Take care, be safe, and from my family (Sharon, Gracie, Phoebe, Splish, GiGi, Zip, & the raccoons) to yours, I wish you the best! Mollie #357.
