I’m not a racing fan, unless you count Lightning McQueen, but I did learn that many a NASCAR teams and drivers hail Mooresville as home. We had initially planned a [&#8230;]]]></description>

I wanted to come back to them sooner. But I knew we had a task at hand that we needed complete focus to make good decisions. And the kids were with family. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Of course it was my idea. Lol It really was a beautiful mini vacay that I’ll always be thankful for. The evening of my actual birthday, we enjoyed a delicious dinner [&#8230;]]]></description>

The moss and plethora of overhanging trees truly provoke the feeling that we are in a swampy place. I have never been anywhere that I considered a match for the PNW in the level of greenery, either.
