Day: May 29, 2016

Wow!  That was a quick 2 weeks in North Carolina.  So happy to have been here.  Learned more of our way around Denver, Mooresville, Charlotte, Concord, Kannapolis and Lincolnton (as well as all the other little towns we went through).  So much to love about this area … so many people to love in this area.  Tomorrow ~ Virginia to visit Aunt Helen.

Today Bill & I went for lunch in Denver to “Untouchables Burgers Bakers”.  We had the pizza/salad bar buffet.  Had plenty of pizza, hot wings, soups and salad available.  Not as good as Hungry Howie’s in Florida; but, it was ok.

After lunch we drove to downtown Lincolnton.  This was an older sort of quaint little town.  It was the site of the first textile mill built in NC.  It was the first cotton mill built south of the Potomac River.  Cotton processing became a major industry in this area.

Better yet though, they had this neat little dairy bar that served real New Orleans style SnoBalls.  “Pelican’s SnoBalls” have over 100 flavors to choose from.  I had cream cheese flavor topped with vanilla cream and Bill had coffee flavor topped with vanilla cream.  Soooooo  delicious!  I highly recommend this place for all visitors to the area!

What better way to end our visit!  Thank you North Carolina for your southern hospitality, your famed Nascar country, your southern drawls, your rich history, the Cove Church and delicious foods!  More over, thank you Ray-Ray and Pam for accommodating us and our RV.  Having 50 amp and water was great! We both will miss you and,,, Bill will surely miss “Thunder, Boots & Lucky”.

P.S. Ray-Ray is still in Washington D.C. at Rolling Thunder.  ‘Have seen many photos he has posted online.  Has been a very moving and emotional weekend for him I’m sure.  Safe travels back to NC tomorrow Ray-Ray.  Loving you forever and always.  XOXO
