    Just curious.

    Lived there three years, in Durham. I live 3 hrs away now, near Charlotte.

    I’m near Raleigh, trying to see if there was someone close to connect with. Yeah, I am very familiar about how far Charlotte is, that’s where my SAH’s girlfriend lives. He’d go on “work trips” twice a week to see her. 🙁

    I’ll give him some work, when he gets here, with a flathead shovel. Sister style.

    Sounding like we need a Carolina retreat, isn’t it?

    Ok, I propose a once a month meeting of Carolina Girls! Centralized, or we can float around to each person’s locale. We have Charlotte, Winston Salem, Raleigh, and Charleston so far.

    Hey – I’m in Richmond – not too far from the top of NC…can I be an honorary member of your NC group? 😉

    Love it. We can have flathead shovel contests and drink like there’s no tomorrow. Bev is only 5 hours away…

    Someone plot where we can all meet up that’s central to all of us. Maybe Asheville? I’ve heard it lovely….never been and dying to go.

    I am about an hour from the triangle. My son is in Chapel Hill in medical school and I can be to his apt. in an hour. I am around if that helps you any.

    Ha! Yeah right, Nap! Bring cigar!!

    I don’t think NC is toooo far from the Tennessee holler!

    Ashville is lovely – kind of artsy fartsy in a good way. Prettier in the spring, summer and fall though.

    SL, I had to cut back on the cigars, they were turnin’ my teeth yeller. Trish, I’ve heard it’s really artsy, I’d love that.

    SL you can bring your brownies. :O

    I’m about 45 min from Chapel Hill. Maybe three from Asheville. I don’t mind driving though!

    I checked out Asheville on the map – it’s in between all of us….including Bev and maybe SL’s old holler. No more than 3.5 hours for any of us.

    I’ve heard it’s a great place. It doesn’t have the healing ocean, but sometimes the mountains can be good, too. Plus, I’ve heard they have yoga retreats 😉

    Me too. I hear the foliage is beautiful this time of year. We went to the Biltmore in August.

    No foliage now, Dee Dee, the trees are bare. Was there last weekend.

    Sorry – March is in Atlanta and Bev’s in TN…. let’s do it!

    Who is the party planner in the group? I’ve never been to Asheville….

    I’m 3 1/2 hours away. Quite do-able. Asheville is one of my favorite places.

    OK so when – Winter getaway or Spring? I will happily look into places to go to. Anyone interested could private message me what weekends work for them and we could get this party started. It could give me something to focus on besides my separation which is destroying me – in an effort not to destroy me (see, I’m losing my mind).
    DeeDee, I am still very close though if you need to meet. My calendar is pretty empty so say when and where and I will be there.

    It’s about 5.5 hours from me – a little long but doable. Count me in for a winter or spring retreat!
