We were treated to quite a collection at the home of Ron &amp; Carol White. Over the years they have amassed an amazing collection of antique Chinese furniture! They lived in China and bought the pieces first hand. They have really lived all over, including Paris, so we had a great time hearing their stories! We first met them at Kelly's in Key West and they were kind enough to invite us over for a lovely dinner and night!<div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KjkxOAuu0Y0/TF2rxLDPW9I/AAAAAAAAHAY/tld6q18B9Fk/s320/IMG_4035.JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502743180984933330" /></div><div>Chris, Carol and Ron at their Asheville, NC home!</div><div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KjkxOAuu0Y0/TGF9X2B0iwI/AAAAAAAAHAg/IW4RLdYsolc/s320/IMG_4036.JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503818068217072386" /></div><div>An antique Chinese cabinet turned into a bar!</div><div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KjkxOAuu0Y0/TGF9ok9b1ZI/AAAAAAAAHAo/t4A5R2mVHLw/s320/IMG_4038.JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503818355693049234" /></div><div>Very detailed carvings</div><div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KjkxOAuu0Y0/TGF95tG0qhI/AAAAAAAAHAw/wsYCwr1y5qU/s320/IMG_4039.JPG" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503818649937685010" /></div><div>I loved the open lattice work.

Not sure....as you can see, I havent spent too much time living in the woods! Some things are taking a bit to get used to like driving 20 miles to get groceries at Walmart...having to walk and lean over the deck to get phone service, or the hike to the Post Office to get mail bc there is no service...but the beauty makes up for it! Luckily we back right up to Chimney Rock Park where you can hike around and see the waterfall where part of The Last of Mohicans was filmed! </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Tubing for the first time was a bit scary...especially when Chris pointed out the water snake while were in there...but luckily I have only been bitten once:) </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Of course the lot next to us was empty when we got there...and then a huge rig pulled up with purple lights underneath!
