February 23, 2017. House guests

LOCATION:  House-sitting in Davidson, North Carolina on beautiful Lake Norman WEATHER:  Foggy in the AM; sunny and nice in PM>. Highs about 70  

We drove into Davidson for lunch at this pub.  We were pleasantly surprised with $2.50 craft beer drafts.  We split an individual 6" pizza, and still had leftovers.  Cheap lunch!

We ran some errands in Davidson, and returned to the condo to find our monthly mail packet awaiting us.  We use a mail-forwarding service and each month we instruct them on where to send the mail.  It is a bit like opening a Christmas present.  What will we find inside?  Unfortunately, this month, it was filled with past-due notices on my Medicare bill.  The direct deposit option I set up did not work, so the government canceled my coverage!  Now I'm dealing with that.  Argh.  

I did some more work on our Europe trip, emailing the homeowners to get their suggestions.  After our first housesit in Scotland, we will probably fly from Edinburgh to Rome, spend a few days there sightseeing, then drive to our 2nd housesit on Italy's eastern coast, across the mountains.  After that housesit, we will probably take the train to Milan, spend a few days there, then take the train to Paris, then to Brittany for that housesit.  I really enjoy making all these arrangements.  

 

George's sister Janet  and her friend arrived in the late afternoon, just in time to watch another breathtaking sunset on the deck.  We had a great time catching up.  

 

DINNER:  Janet brought a vegetable lasagne casserole and garlic bread.  I added some salad.
