Bob's sister Gwen drove down from Ohio on Thursday, September 6th to spend a week with us. Plans were to go boating and fishing, but as the old saying goes, "Man plans; God laughs." Hurricane Florence decided to make her appearance just about the same time. We were supposed to hook up with friends in Calabash, NC, after Gwen's visit, but upon hearing Florence was expected to make landfall about 40 miles north of there, we cancelled the trip. We secured our house and also Bobby's and Valerie's in Lavonia since they were up in Maine. As it turned out, Florence's track turned, and we had almost nothing from the storm. Gwen was able to head home as she originally planned.
Saturday morning, Gwen and I went to the Apple Festival in Westminster. We wisely went early in the morning to avoid crowds and the 90 degree heat.
Sunday weather was still too "iffy" to go boating, so we went to South Cove County Park and tried to entice some fish to eat our worms.
The fish weren't interested in Bob's worms either.
Although the storm track went east of us, it was overcast for the rest of Gwen's visit. We went to a flea market in Rabun Georgia and did some shopping around town, but mostly we were couch potatoes until it was time for her to head north. Still in all, it was great seeing her.
