Today we decided to see downtown Waynesville, North Carolina. So, we jumped in the car and headed south on 276, then west on 19, then south on 276 again, then made a right turn to somewhere. Wherever we were, it wasn't downtown Waynesville. So, when all else fails, get out the GPS. Even the GPS had trouble finding it, but after making a couple of circles, we finally made it to downtown.
The sign said "Historic Waynesville" but darned if we could find any history there except for several old buildings. Actually, the downtown area is nice and is filled with all types of little shops and several interesting restaurants. We walk up one side on main street and down the other side and even hit a few side streets stopping in several interesting stores. But, the only thing we purchased was some dog treats for Kallie. They are made to help keep her teeth clean and freshen her breath. After all that walking, that was our only purchase. Kitty says, "shopping with her husband is like hunting with the game warden!" Hey, if she asks me if I like something, I just say no and she moves on. I only had to say no about 14,000 time in two blocks! Ha!
Here's a couple of shots of downtown Waynesville, NC.

These sculptures were made from industrial scrap material and is there to commemorate the musical history of Waynesville. Maybe that's the history part of "Historic Waynesville"?

After all that heavy shopping, we had really worked up an appetite. So, we had a very nice lunch at a restaurant called "The Sweet Onion".
Ok, now for a rare senior moments. Since this campground is full of seniors, we all get a chuckle of sharing our senior moments with each others. So, we thought we'd share this one with you. Here goes. The other night Kitty was trying to put some eye drops in her eyes, but kept missing her eyes. So, she asked me to help. I tipped her head back and opened her eye lid just like I'd seen the eye doctor do, and sure enough, I missed her eye too. The stuff squired out at an angle instead of straight out. So, I tried to wipe off the tip of the eye drop container figuring something was blocking the hole. We tried it again with the same results, missing her eye even more than before. Then it dawned on us what was wrong... the cap was still on the bottle. We just stood there and laughed for several minutes. Please don't tell our children, they already think we are crazy!
