Just to let you all know that we arrived safely at our new home in North Carolina today. We drove straight to pick up our DSL modem then went to our new house. It took us 6 days to get here.  Things are a very very slow pace here compared to Los Angeles. Lot’s of transition, but we have hi-speed internet and a nice fireplace. We will need to adjust to say the least!!  Our stuff does not arrive until a week from Friday so we’ll be doing without till then.

Wow, America sure is big and so are Americans! Just so you know, we found that Pertle’s Fried Chicken up the street from Graceland was better than Elvis’ house. Toured the Ryman Auditorium, former home to the Grand Ole Opry. Sure would like to come back and see Ricky Skaggs perform here later this summer. So far we have found that the food is not as fresh as CA but there was a lot of it. We drove by a place called Pig Out Palace but did not stop! I’d like to write a book “America is a Big Buffet”

Well, not much to report from New Mexico through Oklahoma. Of course I get those looks from the locals and know they are thinking “he ain’t from around here”. We are currently in Forrest City, Arkansas.  We plan to tour Graceland tomorrow. How can you live on earth and not visit the King’s house?  Plan to stop off in Nashville to see Grand Ole Opry – home of both kinds of music: “country and western”. Arkansas is pretty. Had to stop for some deep-fried cheese curds and a mug of A&W.

Well, we are leaving today to move from Los Angeles, CA to Moravian Falls, NC. Lot’s of change happening. We packed all our belongings into moving PODs that will be delivered to us in a few weeks. Wow, we sure will miss everyone in LA. Looks like we’ll be on I-40 for the next 5 days. Ure hope they have hi-speed internet along the way!
