Today was a special day because I was able to reconnect with my cousin, Kim Gauss and her husband Tav, after many years.  I truly think the last time I saw her was in my 20s.  Her father is my Godfather and lives in Wilson, NC.  He had told me that Kim and Tav had a home here in the mountains so it was great that we were able to find them here at this time.  We had a wonderful time catching up and hope to be able to do more of that when we visit this area again.

Another beautiful day in the mountains with cool temps so we could eat outside.  We are going to miss this as we head out tomorrow to hotter weather again. 




Then on to historic Jonesborough, TN, well known for it's Story Telling Festival. They are getting ready for a big July 4th weekend with crafts, food and music.
