Bud's Big Race ~ 9-13-12

We are off for Bud to run in the Asheville, NC, Half Marathon. I lived there for 18 years, so I am going home even if Thomas Wolfe lived there and said you cannot go home. The most exciting news is the route changed this year and  goes up the mountain to my old home, "Breezemont" overlooking the Smokey Moutains in the Manor Grounds and then turns left to go in front of my beloved friend, Weezie's home,"Dogwood. " Then it turns to go back down the mountain. I am so excited I'm about burst. This is my Skywatch Friday post though it should be called "Bud's Race Watch."I will post pictures this weekend. Wish him well. It is a ROUGH run.
