Sylva, NC

I have heard a lot about Sylva over the years from a friend, but had never been there.  It is quite a charming town - very clean and friendly.  The most best part is the new Courthouse and Public Library.  It was so beautiful - I loved the building.

 

This is the courthouse and library

 

 

A nice Veterans' Memorial outside the courthouse

 

Amazing stained glass inside the library

 

This is an old photograph of the courthouse

 

Pretty flowers

Had a delicious lunch at Lulu's Cafe.  They were very vegetarian-friendly.  I had a wrap filled with very tempeh and rice!

 

Little shops and restaurants in the downtown area

 

I liked the name of this place.  Appropriate.

 

A pretty house overlooking Main Street

Asheville area, North Carolina

It's really nice to wake up in the morning and see this view!

A sweet little shop dog; she greets you as you come into this store. She is a rescuee named Pearl.  I can't imagine who would give up this beautiful face and charming personality.  But, she has a great home now with some amazing humans who love her.  Life turned out good for Pearl!

Some pretty flowers.

Greenville, South Carolina

This is a very pretty city.  I loved the tree-lined streets and friendly people.  But, wow, it is HOT HOT HOT here!

I LOVED this building and the clock in front of it.

My high-rise luxury hotel!  (I'm not used to this luxury!)

Pretty downtown apartments.

There is a lot of art in public places in the downtown area.

This was SO cute.  These little mice were all over.

You can see how small it is next to my sunglasses.

It must mean something, but I had no idea what.

This cool chair in a downtown store was made of

old cassette tapes.

 

I stopped at this pizza joint for a good pizza!

I loved the woodwork on the inside.

No shortage of places to eat.

A great concert at the Peace Center

I have been going to Jackson Browne's concerts for nearly 40 years.  He is as good now, if not better, than the very first time I saw him.  He loves his audiences and puts on a fantastic show.  What a great night!

Talk about great location. I walk out of the Peace Center and across the street to my luxury high-rise hotel!

Jackson Browne, Greenville SC

Great, great, great show - as always!  I looooved the fantastic band he had with him this time!

Jackson Browne

I am in Greenville, South Carolina, tonight to see my boyfriend of almost 40 years, Jackson Browne, perform.  Now, if he KNEW he was my boyfriend, that would just make me sooo happy!  As always, I am sure it will be a fantastic show.
