I went one year at Christmas and it was beautiful. We stayed on the grounds at a Biltmore hotel and really enjoyed the visit.

I don't know what is happening out there but in the past 2 weeks I sold a bunch of used items that I had for sale for 2 years. I had the items posted for sale on a Canadian on-line site (similar to marketplace) without a single worthwhile bite in 2 years. In the last two weeks everything has sold. We had two dining room tables sold, 10 dining room chairs, one Sony DSLR camera, and a commercial grade cheese grater all sold. Used stuff must be getting popular or people are getting fed up with inflation and supply chain issues.

Ally is taking her finals for the first semester of her senior year in nursing school. One more semester to go. She has done so well Grandma must brag, just a little. She got a 96 on her first clinical final. Today she took her second one and received a letter from her professor which congratulated her on getting 100% on the clinical exam. Two questions were nullified raising her grade from 96% to 100% In the letter, the professor told Ally she has taught the course nine times and no one ever earned 100% before. She's worked very hard to achieve these grades.

Hard to believe she was only 3 years old when we started hanging out with S2K people.

You certainly have a right to be proud!

When we were on our evening walk yesterday, I saw a new sign on a building. It is for Arlington’s first medical cannabis dispensary set to open soon. And up the street is another new store - NOVA Armory. Could not figure out what it was at first. Then it dawned on me it is a gun store. Gun stores are not really welcomed here so not sure how long it will last.

Guns and weed, what a mix.
