My brother Tim has a good friend Bill that lives in North Carolina. He has been telling me that he wants to go visit him for a short vacation and has asked me if I’d like to go with too. He wants to rent an RV and stay in an rv park north Carolina. Bill’s wife has recently died and Bill has been inviting us to come spend a few weeks fishing with him. So Tim has been talking with Bill about which of the nc rv parks would be the best one to stay in.
We haven’t quite decided if we want to stay in a rv park nc near where Bill lives, or have Bill join us and go someplace further away than his house and have a “get away from it all” vacation. We think that getting Bill out of the house might be a good idea, and a fishing trip might just be the spirit-lifting he needs to start getting on with his life.

Today my niece came over for a visit and I was trying to think of something to do with her. I decided to take her for a scenic drive and we ended up at a local winery that happened to be holding a wine tasting event. We actually pulled over and into the parking lot to just take some pictures of the scenic vineyard, and she decided that she would like permission to try to taste one of the grapes on the vines that we saw. So we went inside the winery to ask, and found that they were offering free samples of their wine. Although they told us that the grapes had been sprayed with something that we should not consume, we did manage to have some free samples of their wine, so all was good!
