MORE NC VACATION

I remember saying once that I loved having a boy, but the Lord knew what He was doing when He gave me only one. And now here I am vacationing in the same house with three of them!!

They are truly having a ball. One of the things they like best is playing pool; we can hear them down in the rec room hitting the balls and laughing over something that is hilarious to them. Once we detected a different sound and Ashley yelled down the steps to stop using the cues as swords. But that has been the only glitch in that game.

Yesterday they went out and played miniature golf; of course, Danny won that (his father works for Ping). And today they went back to the mines to hunt for more rare jewels. They also had a great time driving go carts.

Again, the weather is wonderful --- mild and sunny --- but later on in the week it is supposed to get hotter. Then I think they are planning to tube or raft down a river on that day.

I have heard the word “DUDE” mentioned many times in their address to each other, and like the beer commercial, with many different inflections. So far they haven’t called me that but if they do, I will have to remind them that "I am a 'dudette,' Dude"!
