Our anniversary

It has been a while since I had written on here but June 22 was our anniversary and we left the kids with their grandparents in Virginia and we went down to North Carolina and went to the Smokey Mountains. We rented a cabin in Maggie Valley and we also went to Cherokee and saw the native Americans (formally called Indians even though they are not from India but that is a whole other story) but we went to a museum and saw an outdoor play called Unto These Hills-I think is a shame the way the American government displaced them so many years ago when Andrew Jackson was President in the 1830's.  We also went to Asheville to visit the Biltmore House which is magnificant mansion and their gardens.  It is hard to believe we have been married over twenty years now and they said it would not last.  Peter arranged a restaurant to come to our cabin while we were away and create a romantic dinner for us to celebrate the occassion.
