Brevard Project 365 – Day 90
After school today, Matt and I went into the Habitat Thrift Store to harass say hi to Marlaine… but she was back in the “employees only” area (we knew, because we could hear her laughing). Anyway, saw this cute little chair for $30.

If I could figure out how to add this painting at Red Wolf Gallery to my Amazon.com wish list, I would do that. Anyway, dropped in to my #1 favorite art gallery today and enjoyed a chat with owner, Tom Cabe. (Tom – I still think the moose statue in front of the courthouse looks like a moose… not an elk.) :-)

Looking Glass Falls
My favorite waterfall… and by far the easiest/fastest one to get to is Looking Glass Falls. (Directions: Enter main entrance to Pisgah National Forest (at US 64/US 276/NC 280)… follow US 276 north for 5.5 miles… park at paved area on right (look for sign and steps directing down to falls). Enjoy!

This little cutie was saved yesterday by a good samaritan who rescued her from a horrible situation where she’s been abused… :-( I met her today at Brother Wolf Animal Rescue while Lucas was getting groomed. She was crawling out of her new mom’s car window… got stuck, and was dangling in the air… and I held her until we could get her mom… little rascal. She’s one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met! xo
