Been chillin at Sycamore Resort near Southern Pines.It is way out in the countryside and I love it(except for when the farmers are fertilizing their fields with chicken manure and the wind is blowing a certain direction,lol).It is about an hour NE of Charlotte. We energize and recharge our bodies and creativity here. It provides a place where we ride bikes,swim and boat(canoes,kyaks and peddleboats). We enjoy our grandchildren visiting us here. And socially,We are friendly but don't really fit in with the people. Yet, the people (especially the regulars that camp here)seem attracted to us.I listen to all their stories....it is like a little RV Peyton Place(comprised of many retirees, vets and ex-druggies and not there yet recovering druggies and folks with disabilities).....even so, I like the people.....as long as they don't try to get too friendly(because we enjoy our privacy). We play(practice)our instruments and I suppose that has brought attention to us and also we befriended one of the head employees who has helped us with some small stuff regarding RV maintenance from time to time.Its a gossipy place of which I am cautious of.Last night was a Lulu though, when he came to fix our windshield wiper and brought along another female employee to meet who had a side line business in "ROMANTIC PLEASURES" and thought I might be interested. I laughed. I understand certain situations where they may be "needed" but count my blessings that we don't have need of such devices and products.Thank you God for my wonderful husband and health!Anyway,it is our "down" time between festival time. We will be here in between festivals during the spring and summer.I can't wait for the next one in a few weeks near Charlotte called DrumStrong, a Cancer Fundraiser featuring Railroad Earth on Saturday.There will be family fun and lots of arts and crafts. RRE currently on break except for this event and we hopefully will have opportunity to socialize (again) with some of the members and crew that we have come to know. Well, I know for sure we will with the production crew and usually John,Andy,Andrew and sometimes Tim come for awhile(and Todd and Carey rarely).They are so fun in the psychodelic world of jamgrass.Even tho they do bluegrass, they are not bluegrass...hard to classify them.....ah, and then its Maryland bound to attend Delfest and all 3 late nighters with some of the best bands performing.....
