#30 A Very Happy Birthday

My sweet hubby invited me to the Grove Park Inn for my birthday, a 100-year old hotel atop a mountain in my favorite city, Asheville, NC.
We spent most of our time in rocking chairs by the mammoth stone fireplaces in the lobby, doing many of my favorite things: talking to each other, talking to strangers, or reading the paper. The second day I read three newspapers: the WSJ, NYT, and USA Today.
We left Tuesday afternoon with the intent of returning home on Wednesday but Wednesday morning he turned to me and said, “you wanna stay an extra day??” Of course the answer was an enthusiastic Yes so there we were.
We had a lovely time, ate at my favorite restaurants, and generally hung out. The fire was delicious.we watched the bellmen (and women) tend the fire, all but standing upright in the tall hearth.
