I guess I got a little carried away with my posts, but it just struck a chord with me early this morning over my coffee. I rather expected for you to get a lot more action if I'd just shut up. Anyway.... Have a nice day. If you should want to respond to this, my profile is locked against all the kooks out there, but Angela in GOLO can put you in touch.

This is the first time I ever read Bill's Blog. I was glad to read that his favorite vacation destination is the mountains. It is mine too. Of course my favorite season there is the Fall. I often talk to transplants who say they've never been and I tell them you have got to go! I may be alone, but I love it when it's misty and the clouds shroud the mountains. I love the smell of Mountain Laurel and little mom & pop roadside apple stands. I love it on a clear day on top of Grandfather Mt. when you can actually see the skyline of Charlotte. And talk about diversity, it's hard to believe that these breathtaking mountains are in the same state as the awesome North Carolina Outer Banks. We don't know how good we've got it.

Just want you to know, you are a part of my household (sometimes the nicest one here) every morning while we're rushing to get to work & school. You do a fantastic job and you seem like such a nice person. We especially love your stories on Carolina places and we own the Away from the Edge video of the Hatteras Light move. Thank you for seeing and sharing the beauty of this wonderful state we live in.

Hope your Easter is blessed.

I have a great proposal story. My fiance-to-be took me to every place we had been on our first date the day he proposed to me. We went on a hike in the mountains, grabbed ice cream at a local shop, and ate pizza at the same place I first met him. I just knew a proposal was coming. But after dinner, he got a phone call from his mom saying that he needed to return home. We had plans to watch a movie with some friends, so I was greatly disappointed that the evening was coming to an end without a proposal. I went on to the movies with my friends while my boyfriend supposedly went home. As the movie began, I was making my way through a bag of popcorn, when I touched something hard in the middle of the bag. It was a box, containing the most beautiful engagement ring. My husband ran down the isle of the movie theater and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes, and we've been happily married now for five years!

I have a funny story about "Popping the Question". I had been dateing my then boyfriend for about two years. One night over at his parents house, we were sitting on the sofa watching TV with his father. His father turns to both of us and asks when we were going to get married. My boyfriend and I just looked at each other, stunned. Was my boyfriend's father asking me to marry his son?! Yes, he was, it turned out. That was on a Wednesday night. By Saturday, we had friends and family come to my soon to be husband's house and the preacher of our church married us. That was slightly over 5 years ago.

On your request for old names. My grandmother was from Tennessee and not North Carolina, her name was Flavia Belle. My other grandmother's name was Bessie. You guessed it, I almost was Bessie Belle. Wouldn't that have been one to live with.
