Up at 7:00, out by 8:20 (seems like that's becoming the standard!), another beautiful clear day. Uneventful drive except for our Wal-Mart stop in Oxford, NC. Followed Gracie (my phone GPS, so that when I turn it off upon arrival, I can say "Good night, Gracie"), but the store she took us to was gone. Fortunately, there was a local woman eating in her car in the parking lot, so I asked her where it moved to, and she kindly gave me directions, just another two miles away. No gas there yet (under construction, from the looks of the bulldozer in the corner), so had to stop again for that. Good to get in North Carolina, though, because the prices go up considerably once you cross the Virginia line.
Arrived around 3:30 to hugs and greetings from Dee and Paul, who generously let us put our horses in a nice little fenced-in pasture, instead of the paddock, which they loved! Enough grass to eat, and it wasn't long before they had a roll, evidenced by their wet and slightly muddy backs. Dee and Paul had dinner plans, so off they went at 5:00 (after some specially-flavored :-) decaf coffee). Time to get caught up on work, get to bed early, and prepare for our client in Washington, DC on Thurdsay.
