We also visited a while with Duane's folks before the burial. Cordy is recovering well from his hip replacement.<br />
<br />
After the burial near Weaverville, Buckeye Baptist fed us all a fabulous meal. Really nice to get to visit with all my uncles and cousins.....Teresa and I with Curt, our oldest uncle. I was going to say that he was our "spunkiest" uncle....but they're all pretty spunky!!<br />

Lot's of boat chores and a few house chores. <br />
<br />
Since we didn't fly much during the past 6 months, it was time for Duane to get his instrument currency in the airplane. Pilots have to maintain and prove proficiency every 6 months to be able to fly in the clouds.....so off we went this morning. Pretty green NC!<br />
<br />

<br />
And here is our 2 hour flight with 6 different approaches at nearby airports! The green line is our actual radar flight path. Fun but a bit tiring in the warm bumpy air!<br />

Duane driving the truck/trailer - the bed of the pickup loaded with "stuff" - wheel barrow, tools, boat bumpers, ladder, trash can, etc. I followed in the mini-van/trailer stuffed with charcoal grill, two lawn mowers and various other necessary items.<br />

I have 7 or 8 in an outside flowerbed and they seem to do fine, even with the crazy single digit temps we've had this year.<br />

This is the bulb from 2 years ago, I believe. Lovely!<br />

Duane sortof surprised me at the restaurant by calling the waitress over at the last minute and order it to-go. (We were absolutely stuffed at that point so couldn't have eaten it at the restaurant at the time if we'd wanted to). I should have put a fork down for size - this "slice" of cake is huge! We had it the next night with a nice glass of wine. Lovely.<br />

Saturday, we attended our EAA 1114 chapter summer picnic. It was fun to see some folks we haven't seen in a while (we don't attend many of the meetings)....but it was a soggy mess! <br />

<br />
It was a beautiful fall day! The wedding ceremony was down at Gretchen's gazebo. The bride was flown to the ceremony by Pat in his motor glider. She got out of the plane on the runway so I couldn't get a photo of that.<br />

Lovely ceremony with lots of kind words. The bride and groom met at a "medieval times" type group. Lots of their friends from that group attended the wedding and they exited the ceremony under the crossed swords you see.<br />

Since we might not be back to Oriental for months, we couldn't leave the Avion unprotected thru the winter. It's now safe and snug back in it's original spot in the hangar.<br />
<br />
We've got to pack our backs for the trip to Houston to survey the catamaran! More to follow!<br />

Duane caught this big guy. We didn't measure, but the concrete dock you see is in 6" segments. He was nice and beefy, so I decided he was going to be dinner!<br />

I am not the best at filleting, but I did a pretty good job. Plenty big for the two of us. Used some lemon pepper seasoning and olive oil. (I didn't have any breading material in the camper or I think I would have fried them instead.)<br />

I had wrapped a couple of sweet potatoes in foil and roasted them on the grill earlier. Add a side of coleslaw and we had a great meal! The fish was tender and excellent - just a few big bones that were easy to pick out. <br />

A nice speckled trout. (They're not in the same family as the trout we're used to in the mountains....the name is misleading - they are actually a type of drum fish and live in brackish/seawater).<br />

<br />
They are worn slick - the whole point in having boat shoes is that they grip the topsides of wet boats.... and there's actually holes in the bottoms. Boat shoes are made to get wet, but it's a little ridiculous to have water coming in from the top AND the bottom!!<br />

So, we got in our trusty bird and flew to Myrtle Beach....beautiful day.<br />

<br />
Borrowed their "crew car" and headed to the outlet mall. You all know that's just not our version of fun....but we persevered. <br />
<br />
Came away with "the most expensive boat shoes ever" (haha if you count the avgas we used to get there!) Just kidding, we were going flying today anyway so it was just an excuse to go to Myrtle beach. Ta-Da! my new shoes!<br />

<br />
We stopped on the way back to the airport and had a Chinese lunch with some of the best hot-n-sour soup I've ever had....a fun day! <br />

<br />
Didn't snap any photos during the gathering so you'll just have to believe me. Well attended - we ended up visiting with the couple that bought Glory Days several years ago for a couple of hours sitting in the Glory Days cockpit! Good fun. <br />

Cool, clear nights. Stayed up until 1AM and laid out on the dock to watch so shooting stars from the Orionid Meteor Shower. We saw a couple of really pretty ones before scampering back to bed!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We've enjoyed the campfires this week! Lazy evening - campfire and heating up the grill using shovelfuls of hot coals from the campfire.<br /><br />

This morning we put out another of Duane's homemade concrete benches. It's just nice to have lots of spots to relax! <br />
