lighting up for the holidays

We went to see Harry Potter last night in Biltmore Town Park (just a fancy name for a development that contains a hotel, movie theater and a bunch of shops and condos.) When we came out of the theater, the Christmas lights were lit!

sunrise over west Asheville

I caught this sunrise over west Asheville this morning. Looks like a sunset, but it really was 7 a.m. when I opened my curtains and was blown away by the colors. I had to capture it.

ready to walk

Sophie's always up for a nice walk.

Elton John in Asheville

I saw Elton John tonight in Asheville. My first time seeing him in concert, and most likely my last (just because he has only been to this city twice.)

It was pretty amazing.

checkbook cover

I set out to make a checkbook cover this evening. And I succeeded.

alpaca at the Studio Stroll

It's not every day I see alpacas and can feature them on my blog. Today I saw a few at the River Arts District Studio Stroll.

The studio stroll is held twice a year and people can meet the artists and buy their work during these weekends. (The artists generally have limited hours the public can enter the studios and make purchases.) It's very cool and we spent four hours down there - and didn't buy anything, but we may go back tomorrow.
