Yesterday with the weather where we live forecast to be hot and humid we decided to head in to the mountains for a cooler day. LOL.. That was a mistake as it turned out to be as hot up there as it was at home. One good part was that we had the radio in the car set to AM and we were picking up radio stations from all over depending where we were in the mountains. A couple I remember were one from Oregon and one from New Jersey, I preferred the music on the Oregon one.
We didn't do much except drive around lookung at the views, houses and gardens, although we did go to a massive antique mall that had these cool old vee hickles parked inside and outside the entrance....
There wasn't a lot of protection from the weather for the drivers of that truck.
I couldn't help but think that Jo Jo would love to have one of those old machines in her yard.
This one was inside the entrance, it's a tad fuzzy as someone gave me the slightest of nudges as they passed me by. I shoulda taken another, but you can see what it's supposed to be.
Once inside we walked around for two hours or so, great exercise, although even after all that time we still didn't get to see everything in the place. I bought a couple of old 1930's brown beer bottles mainly because they had come all the way from Britland to end up in that small town in the mountains of NC.
A first for me on the day was a visit to a Huddle House for lunch where I had a surprisingly tasty BLT. It was so good that I nearly ordered another one and I would have done if Dez hadn't have given me the 'evil eye'.
We hit another couple of antique outlets during the rest of the day as we wended our way back out of the mountains on our way home. All in all a pleasant day out as long as we were in the car with the A/C running full blast.
