3/14/18...Left our hotel in Hnderson, got to Pam and Dick's at 10:30. We had such a nice time relaxing and visiting with them.

Love this sink in Pam's bathroom.  When you turn the water on, it falls from the top round thing onto the bottom.

While we ate dinner, we watched the sun set over the lake

We ate breakfast at our Hotel in Henderson, NC.  Everyone was so nice there and very hospitable.  They had a goodie bag for us to take with us when we left.  It had two water bottles, an apple, and two granola bars in it.  So nice.  We tried to call Pammie, but she didn't answer.  We wanted to let her know we would be early, 10:30 instead of 12 noon.  We got there and she had left her phone in the house and was starting a fire in the wood burner in the cottage for us.  They had put gates up, so we all parked behind the gate and walked around and up to the house.  Dick came out to meet us and used his remote to open the gate.  We all went out to surprise Pammie.  We all went in there house and visited until lunch time.  Then Pammie put egg salad, ham, turkey, salami, a veggie tray, a fruit tray, chips, bugles, cheese they brought back from the Netherlands, and delicious homemade bread.  We made out sandwiches and ate.  Charlie wasn't feeling too good.  He was constipated so he was watching what he ate.  We visited some more and Charlie and Sue went out to the cabin and took a nap.  It is just amazing to see all the furniture, bowls, etc. that Dick has made, not to mention the cabinets and kitchen cupboards.  He also made these nice lights in the living room.  They saw them in Colorado, but they cost 2,800 dollars.  He came home and made them.  He has build 3 sailboats too.  Amazing that he and Pam could have built that beautiful house, workshop and Cabin.  They are very talented for sure.  Charlie and Sue came back in after a couple hours.  Pammie cooked us boneless pork chops, round new potatoes, corn on the cob and we also had salad.  She served us and had the food for each of us on a fancy plate that she placed in front of us.  She wouldn't let us do anything no matter how many times I offered.  I did get to help clear the table off after we ate though.  She was busy in the kitchen and couldn't stop me.  She made cheesecake and it was the best cheesecake I have ever tasted.  She also had made chocolate chip ice cream and vanilla ice cream.  Everything was so good.  We sat around visiting more.  Charlie and Sue went to bed early because he still wasn't feeling good (better because Pammie gave him Milk of Magnesia) but still not great.  We went to the cabin about an hour later.  I slept really good in the loft.  Did you girls notice Dick's yellow crocs?  He reminded me of you girls the way he loves crocs.
