ART Strolls with a Sketchbook 1 | Page 13

North Carolina In July we packed the cats in the car and set off for 10 days at Ellijay… it’s not the town of Ellijay. It’s our secret hideaway favourite house in North Carolina. Always generously loaned to us for much needed escapes by our dear Nevada friend, John Cook. I sketched a lot and made a book for him. We love our “second home.” Chaussettes was not crazy about the 12-hour car ride. She objected for all the 12 hours in the car . .. and then, when we got there. sigh Artstrolls.com 2015 We were so happy to pull in to the driveway, cross the stream on the wood bridge and up the steep wee road in the mountains to the secluded welcoming house. And a large glass of wine to fortify us after Chaussettes’ Oscar winning performance.
