After
our visit we drove to Spartanburg to stay with Stephen, but he was not home
when we arrived. We decided to get a
snack and tried to call him, but no answer until about 7:00 pm when he got
home. He told us that he had to have the foundation
corners reinforced and that the joists under the house were bowed. The house is over 50 years old and he did
have it inspected before he bought it.
It’s just costing him some money to maintain it.

May 13
We
left Stephen about 9:00 am and started toward Mannington, WV, for our next
meeting. The drive through North Carolina had lots and
lots of road work being done, mostly on the median. I guess infrastructure is in need of
fixing. NC highways were very clean and
neat and some spots had beautiful wildflowers in the median or under/near
overpasses. Pretty. Virginia looked well-kept also, but there
were also spots of construction going on also.
West Virginia is rolling hills and plenty of greenery. I was wondering what’s all the fuss about
carbon emissions when there are so many millions of trees and mountains that
can absorb this supposed “bad” gas.
Anyway, it was a beautiful drive and we arrived about 5:30 pm at the hotel.

We
called Pastor Bowman and they came over from Mannington and took us to dinner
at a nearby Italian restaurant, which we have been to before. They are regular customers as the wait staff
called them by name. The food was
delicious as always. I had veal parmesan,
which I have not had in years.
Excellent.
We
were taken back to the hotel and then headed for bed.
