At morning break, Katie Beth was already heading to the creek with a fishing pole and had her line in the water by 7:30AM. Apparently, the low 50’s is too cold for Katie Beth.
After fishing and playing at the creek, we headed into town for a day of visiting thrift stores. We scored all sorts of things including a set of dishes for Hope, a cool scientific calculator for Katie Beth, some fabric for sewing crafts, a Minecraft poster for Katie Beth’s room, and more. We finally visited the hiking consignment store, which keeps odd hours making it hard to checkout.
After Karen had her fill of thrift store shopping, we visited downtown to see the shops, pickup some gifts, and a quick lunch. We saw the Black Bear Bier Garten had a great selection of custom made sausages, which would be perfect for dinner at the cabin. We picked a variety of sausages that included pheasant, venison, and bison. We had lunch at Masseria Kitchen & Bar, which was great as always. Next up, Blue Ridge Oil Company was our destination for a few gifts. The ladies had fun sampling all the variety of oils and vinegars.
After sampling and picking up items for dinner, we headed back to the cabin for dinner and relaxation. Katie Beth played in the creek and Karen fished some. As dinner time neared, Katie Beth shucked our corn and made corn shuck dolls while we sat in front of the fire pit enjoying the warmth and sounds of the creek.
After dinner, the ladies relaxed in the hot tub while I tended to the fire and enjoyed some of the beers we picked up.
