No one can really tell the true story of what it’s like to be wounded in war. Even one who has been there might not be able to explain to those of us who sleep safely in our beds each night.
But we can all help those who have served our country.
While my new wife and I respect tradition, the bride-in-white, dressy formal wedding at a church was not for us. We needed a wedding that was a little off-beat, unique. Something more our style. Having yawned our way through plenty of weddings in the past, our highest priorities were bringing the people we love together to witness our day, and making sure they had fun. Sugar Hollow Retreat is the only place I can imagine that really fit us.
I don't know about you, but I greet each fall with a sigh of relief. Here in central North Carolina, fall means relief from a sauna-like sticky heat, no more mosquito bites, ACC football time, and my personal favorite holiday, Halloween. In my hometown, it is also a time to catch the riot of fall colors before the trees drop their leaves. Fall is traditionally the driest season of the year before we settle into our customary gray winter days punctuated by freezing drizzle, so it's no wonder we search out the best places to catch mother nature's last big show before things settle down.

Recently the Robertson family joined us for a three day family vacation. Besides hanging out together in the Sequoia Cottage they enjoyed hiking on our trails and observing the wildlife on our 300 acre property. The highpoint of the trip was the time spent fishing with Judson Conway owner of Elk Creek Outfitters. The weather was cool but fish action was hot. Shown are Isaac and Dillon Robertson and their Guide Judson Conway with a couple of their prize catches of the day..
