As I’d mentioned, Susan and I have enjoyed having our daughters and son-in-law home with us for the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend.  We’ve had a great time visiting relatives, eating gobs of great food, and traveling to the mountains for the day.  But the most momentous (to me) occurance during the holiday was the burining of [...]

My bride and I went to Lotus Restaurant in Mooresville for Sunday lunch yesterday.  If you’re not familiar with it, Steve at the Lotus provides one of the best Chinese meals around, and on Sundays in particular, you are very likely to see other folks you know having lunch there.  Well, of course we did [...]
