Atlanta with Dennis and Mark, Jan 27 and 28

 We had about a 4 hour drive from Asheville to Atlanta. Before went to Dennis and Mark's we went to one of their neighborhood restaurants, Bantam & Biddy where we had lunch.
  As always, the four of us had no trouble chatting the afternoon away as we have lots to talk about. And, Dennis's mother, age 100, recently died, so we talked about her life, too. We had planned to attend her service in Bridgewater, but storms prevented that.

  We went to Roxx for dinner and then stayed up chatting some more.
  Mark R was not feeling very well, so we decided to leave at mid-day, actually a day before we had planned, but it seemed sensible for Mark R to relax and get better, not to mention us possibly catching it.
   As always, it was a great visit with them.
