Here we are having our
breakfast in the beautiful
conference center's dining room. It was great not to have to wander around looking for a place to eat.
Our son suggested a nearby church we would enjoy visiting where his friend is the pastor. It was only a few miles away so we did just that...
We love beautiful, old downtown church buildings...
And especially when they house a thriving congregation...
We were delighted to find it was a communion Sunday, and since we arrived early, I took a picture of this beautiful scene. God's people are where you find them, and we sat next to a friendly woman whose name, appropriately, was "Dixie"!
After church, we stopped at a local grocery and bought enough food to last a couple of days. Andy's family would arrive in the mid afternoon, and I made us a simple spaghetti supper. It had been two months since we saw each other, so we just flopped out for a while at the Love Shack...
and then found our way to the North Carolina Apple Festival, which is held every Labor Day weekend in Hendersonville...
It was a beautiful day with mild temperatures in the '70's and a hint of fall in the air, which the locals were delighting in after a summer of unrelenting heat. We sampled yummy apples, apple slushes, fried apple pies, and visted all kinds of vendor booths. The festival sprawled up and down Main Street, and was a bunch of good, down-home fun!
Next ~~ all play on Labor Day!
