We had another long driving day, the fourth in a row and we are both rather road weary. We drove from Jackson, Tennessee to Hendersonville, N.C. We are at a Best Western in Hendersonville. Barbara Huntley, Sage's other grandmother, dropped her off and we took Sage, age 11, to dinner at Binion's, a steak house. Sage and Mark had steaks and Barbara had a salmon salad. It was a brief, but happy visit. Then we dropped her back at her Grandmother's house
November
Well, today we heard that Sage was ill last night - 103 temperature. She suspected either flu or strep. So, we contacted Liz to see about cancelling our visit to Christian, and we mutually decided that it was too risky to expose him. We went out to the pharmacy to ask what we could do to boost our own system as we are afraid we will get it, too, and worry about visiting Bridgewater in a few days. So, we got some zinc and something else the pharmacist recommended.
It was disappointing not to be able to see Christian, but we drove to Greensboro, where Cole is in his second year at UNCG. As we were early, we checked out Replacements Ltd to see about selling them Grandma Almy's bone china. It was an interesting stop as well as disappointing. People do not really want hand washable china anymore, so I doubt we will be selling it.
We checked into a Best Western, checking ourselves for possible symptoms. We had lunch walking distance from the hotel, Darryl's. It was in quite a unique building with many repurposed things such as jail bars, old railings etc. And, the food was good.
We heard from Sherah that Sage tested negative for both flu and strep, but has a viral infection.
We picked Cole and girlfriend, Taylor, on campus and took them to Darryl's. It was a lovely evening with them. They talked about their majors and courses. They were both in the N.C. "Early to College" high school program. Cole is a Marketing major with International Business. Taylor is majoring in Theater as well as Media Studies. We also got to see some of their campus which is very pretty. They seem happy there. We all enjoyed the restaurant and all had either salmon or shrimp.
