As you know, today was "haunted tour" day. It was fun. We went to a B&B which used to belong to Mr. and Mrs. Reed, the lawyer to the Biltmores. During thier lives they had nine children, 5 of whom died. It is said that guests have heard children playing in the halls, and the sound of billiards being played at night....even though no one is too be seen. Then we went to the cemetary where the family was buried. It was a gorgeous cemetary with rolling hills and winding roads, surrounded by old trees. The cemetary was established in 1869, so most stones you couldn't read. We drove and walked around for about 45 minutes before we found the grave site. Very spooky! After that, we went to a castle that was supposed to be haunted by a woman who's daughter died in a fire there. We couldn't go in, but it was so neat to see. It was up on the side of a mountain. We decided to abandon the tour and go out to eat at the Moose Cafe.....yum! Chicken and dumplings with carrots and beans was the choice of the day. We went to a huge antique mall afterward, and then it was home. My aunt has been playing dominoes with the kids for about 3 hours now, and hubby and I are watching movies by the fire....how romantic! LOL....we watched "Death to Smoochy"....OMG....what a hysterical movie! I highly recommend it. Well, that's about it from here. I took my benadryl and it's beginning to kick in. Until tommorw fellow journalers! ;o) (BTW, in case you were wondering, there is still no snow....dang it.)
