Jethro has always had a tendency of trying to buy my support. Let me give you an example. When we were in Blowing Rock yesterday, he took me into a store called the Jerky Outpost. I was in heaven; he let me sniff until I could sniff no more. Then we sat on a bench and a jerky together. We bonded. But then today he took me to the Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. We had been to the Biltmore before, but this confirmed that I was born to live out my days at the Biltmore. How can Jethro on the one hand want to stay in an RV at night and then visit the Biltmore during the day? IMHO it makes no sense. So he can ply me with jerky, but my heart belongs at the Biltmore.

I’m with you Duchess, Biltmore is my style! Room service is life😍
Poor Jethro he is still figuring out what he wants but is having fun during the adventure
An Airstream at the Biltmore would work. Jethro
Duchess, he will…just give him time.
Why doesn’t he just buy the Biltmore and be done with it: That’s where you both belong.
I’m working on him. I’ll let him have his Airstream for a year or so…

Duchess,
Splendid idea from your friend Evelyn – get Richard to buy the Biltmore and then we can all come with you on the adventure!!! In the meantime here at the Dog Park the traveling groomer gave me a beauty bath and comb out……I dunno if I like her or not. The rig is cool! Oh, I’m not allowed to have beef jerky any more. My Mom says it makes me crazy! Oh well.
See you soon.
Your pal, Lil
Duchess,
Convince Jethro to buy the Biltmore; I’ve never been there but would gladly come visit once it’s your home because I’m SO anxious to see it. And, I’ll take care of the Airstream (whose interior is to die for) for him so it’s in good shape whenever Jethro wants a break from the Biltmore and needs to use it for a few weeks. It’s a win-win, don’t you think? Oh, and I promise there will be a canister filled with dog treats right inside the door of the Airstream so you’ll feel like you’re at 624 Counselors Way whenever you climb into it. Good luck making all that work:(
The great paradox of life. The contrary attractions of great, if complex grandeur of wealth compared to the pure joy of simplicity, even if it is a manufactured simplicity designed in part by the Pottery Barn. Read Arthur C Brooks’ article in last month’s “Atlantic Monthly” about reconciling these conflicts for his daughter.
Duchess, you have it right. “Living well is the best revenge”! Regardless of where you settle, jerky is always available.
