Interspersed with periods of pouring rain were moments of smoky mountain scenery. We had planned to drive to Tampa today but changed our plans because of heavy rain everywhere between here and Tampa. Instead we got the last of the boxes either unpacked or placed in...
Woke up to rain, lots of rain. Did some temporary measures for rainwater diversion using aluminum foil to keep water away from the house. We'll do more permanent measures someday soon. Meanwhile we were amazed at how quickly our little streams become swollen and fast...
Spent a good portion of today exploring some of the businesses in the Sylva area looking for a cell phone signal booster and a filing cabinet. Didn't buy anything yet but we talked to some nice people and found some businesses that we'll enjoy patronizing. Unpacked...
Besides more unpacking, and more unpacking, and the continuing process of deciding where to put stuff away, we began the process of hanging wall art, definitely a sign that we are making progress of turning this house into our home. The photo was taken from our living...
Today we continued what seems like the never ending process of unpacking the study, unpacking boxes, finding homes for our stuff. One of the things that we learned today is that if we want a seat at the 11AM Mass at St Mary's in Sylva, that we must leave home by...
Spent most of the day unpacking boxes, or finding places to put boxes that we're not yet ready to unpack. We did build our first fire in the heat stove. We learned that we have more to learn about how this stove works! Took a walk around the neighborhood, down to the...
Lots more unpacking. We found the other corner on the far wall. We still suspect that there is a window behind the boxes there in the middle of the wall! The Direct TV installer came and now we have an HD receiver on the back of the roof, not on the deck railing! A...
Spent the day pulling furniture and boxes out of the storage room. The room that will become our study. We some furniture up the stairs to the bedroom and the study. Lots of boxes to be unpacked then broken down and packed into the car to be hauled to the recycling...
We've been planning this day since September 1979 when we ventured into the mountains of North Carolina in search of property for our retirement home. Since then we have had a sign in our bedroom reminding us that we'd rather be in the mountains of North Carolina....
We left North Canton in the rain and arrived in Marietta, in southern Ohio in the rain. We got ourselves a room at the Lafayette Hotel on the scenic Ohio River. We enjoyed a visit with Steve's cousin, Dick at the Marietta Brewing Co. making plans for future adventures...

It's the newest addition to our T@B lifestyle. We invested in an Isabella T@B 400 Sun Canopy from All Pro Adventures. Manufactured in Denmark, this canopy has been designed specifically for the T@B 400 and is remarkably sturdy and well made. Because All Pro Adventures...
Another rendezvous at TimberCrest and another T@B 400 & Red F-150 Combo! Amanda with Bert, her trusty tow vehicle, arrived towing Ameli@, her home on wheels, after a harrowing drive from Wytheville VA through snow flurries the whole way. Remember that Amanda is a...
Fortunately we were forewarned by an Accuweather Wintercast alert to our phones, so we disconnected our hoses and protected our dump valves with RV antifreeze last night. Then we hunkered down inside our camper, checked the radar, and settled in for the night...
