I’m in an Airbnb now until June 6th, that’s when my four month lease starts for a cute two-bedroom cottage in Hendersonville. Then I’ll be in another cute cottage in Asheville for 6 months. It’s a relief to have accommodations taken care of. The past few days I’ve met some new friends at two meetups, visited the North Carolina Arboretum, and made a ring at a jewelry making class. The weather has been wonderful, in the ’70s.

One of the meetups I went to was at The Meadow at Highland Brewery in Asheville. It was a Meetup for digital nomads. Although I didn’t meet anyone that was a true Nomad, it was nice chatting with friendly people in a beautiful setting.

Yesterday, I took an interesting ring making class through Ignite Jewelry Studio. There were six of us in the class. This is what my ring looked like in the beginning, just a strip of silver.

There were lots of steps to create the finished piece.

I’ve signed up for additional meetups over the next 2 weeks. Tomorrow, I am attending an Airbnb experience and will be making a piece of art utilizing high voltage electricity and paint.
