We decided on a leisurely trip home so we spent Monday night at the Days Inn in Selma, NC (I-95 exit 97). We arrived home before 3PM on Tuesday. We started to see snow on the ground about 10 miles from home and were surprised to see a good covering at home.

We have been busy visiting, touring and walking. Today we walked around the new building going on inthe northern part of Paul and Carol's neighborhood. While they weren't working today it was interesting to see the quantity of new homes and the homes in various stages of construction.

It's November, don't forget to turn your clocks back this weekend. We only had about 15 TorTers last night. Don't know if it was due to Sandy or just that the neighborhood is getting older.
