We recently drove up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Along the way we stopped at the site of the ‘94 Olympic Kayaking course and took a few snaps.
Pictured here, is a fire watch tower along the bank of the Ocoee River. The leaves had yet to begin turning at such a low elevation, but up in the mountains, along the Parkway, they were gorgeous. Unfortunately for us, we were in the clouds for the next 3 days. No views, but occasional glimpses of glorious color.
Cheers for now…

Well, our friend Bill, who is a great “handy” guy, was almost finished with the repair of our shed, when he went inside to add concrete panels to the wall, when he found TERMITES. Well, that put everything behind, as far as finishing the shed….
We had some spray for carpenter ants and termites, Bill removed the door from the side shed and we are letting the area dry out and continue to spray the affected areas every day…
My husband, son, and I went out and cleared most of the area around the wall where the termites have nested. We moved thing, threw things out, and got rid of an old desk that was made of particle board that was falling apart, not just due to the termites but also the moisture that the old side shed configuration allowed to exacerbate!
Well, it will be a few weeks before we can get back in and remedy the damage to the shed. Bill won’t be available until then!
We will have to replace some of the plywood flooring, the wall in one section, the building was constructed right on top of the ground… Not on any kind of pier! Well, it will be repaired soon enough!
Wish us luck!
