Sweet Potato Lasagna

We took our time this morning and left Greenville, SC around 11:00 am for the final leg of our trip to Concord, NC.  Once again, I-85 was heavy with truck traffic, but it moved along smoothly and it took us less than 2 hours to make the 110 mile trip.  Nothing much exciting to report about that except that our outside TV door came open just as we hit Charlotte, NC and their 6 lanes of traffic going one way.  I managed to find a shoulder and get off the highway enough for Gerry to go out and close the door.  It also happened as we left Tucson earlier this month.  Guess I will have to spend some time working on this problem.

We've stayed at a small Trailer/RV Park across the road from the Charlotte Motor Speedway in the past.  During the NASCAR race the park is full and it costs a bundle to stay here.  That is why we didn't mind arriving when we did, to avoid the high cost and the race fans.  We pulled into a spot we've had before and set up the MH for the next month.  That is, if they will let us stay here that long.  We shall see in the morning how it goes when we talk to the owner of the park.

Larry Jr. called as soon as we got here and invited us over for Sweet Potato Lasagna and we accepted his invitation.  I thought he was pulling our legs when he said what he was preparing.  Wrong!  He and Jane were working on the meal when we got there and we watched them prepare it.  I had my doubts, but it turned out to be very tasty and filling.  It was a nice evening and we ate out on their back porch.

Jane has a number of food allergies and they prepare a lot of plant source meals now.  They both say they feel much better and also healthier.  Now I am worried that Gerry will put me on the food regimen.  Not that I don't need to lose weight and eat healthier, but we shall see how it goes.

We had a nice welcome from Grant as we pulled in the driveway.  He was cleaning the front door windows and saw us pull up.  It was a surprise for him and he showed it.  He ran out, gave each of us a big hug and was excited to see us.  He has grown a lot since we last saw him in August of last year and is going to be a tall young man very soon.  We are going back over there on Friday to help him celebrate his birthday which was a few weeks ago, but they wanted us there to help celebrate the big event.

All in all, it turned out to be a real peach of a day.
