After a breakfast of corn meal cakes (the meal gathered from a mill/farm owned by friends of Gretchin and George) and fresh fruit, I found my way to the state capitol, and got my badge for the NCAC. Lots of good questions about the registry and thoughts about it's future - a new gallery for fellowship artists? A marketing research plan using the power of our interns? Crossover between the local registry? I've got my thinking cap on. Thanks NCAC staff for this priceless "candid" shot.
After a quick lunch, it was on to Knoxville - 6.5 hour drive. It was just before Black Mountain, NC where I pulled over and had a Dairy Queen blizzard (my road-food weekness). Ironically, I was rewarded just three miles later when I got back on the road with snow. It was snowing while I was driving. This was new for me as a FL/GA girl. I braced myself and follwed the semi truck tire tracks at about 45 mph for the next 30 minutes. I know what the word 'sinister' looks like now. Who knew it would have applied to a landscape and weather patern?
I made it safely to Knox and indulged in homemade lasagne and brownies with the Sykes -- family friends are invaluable. Thank goodness for small blessings and good stopping points.
