LOCATION: Housesitting in Edenton, North Carolina

WEATHER: The usual – hot and steamy

George’s sister and her husband drove in from Virginia to spend the 4th of July holiday with us.

We took them out in the country to tour two old mansions, both from the 1700s. We were the only ones there, so had a tour with our private tour guide.

From there, we stopped at a peanut farm and tasted their many varieties of peanuts – wasabi, sea salt, spicy hot, chipotle, and on and on. The owner is a country gent and proudly told us about his farm

Back home, we played with the dog and cooled off. The dog, Chula, really likes George….

DINNER: Cold Asian pasta salad with chicken and veg in a soy/sesame dressing.
