March 18th, 2005 Conover, North Carolina

"Bless your hearts!", here we are in Conover,  North Carolina and we are enjoying a couple of days of respite from driving while indulging in some real southern hospitality. We have been touring the countryside, eating too much talking, laughing and catching up on news.

Each time we stop we find that we want to see more than our time allows, and we want to learn more about where we are.

A little separate note, we are really happy for all the little notes we have received from y'all we're looking forward to study more about the places we have been

Home of Bob and Charlene		Their dining room	Ernie, do you think it was about the one that got away	Old salem graveyard with lots of history
	Old Salem street life	Beautiful old buildings	Tove and Charlene by covered bridge	More views of Old Salem
	We are now in "Mayberry" Mount Airy, hometown of Andy Griffith	Andy and Opie	Bob ready to take Barnie's car for a spin	New sheriff in "Mayberry"
While Charlene was slaving away	The "boys" were tending to important things
