Oh yeah. .. . .that's me. Today Patti and I took the tour at Screen Gems studios where the show One Tree Hill is filmed, among others and lots of movies too. It was a large tour group, but apparently I was the oldest person there. I have never watched One Tree Hill which is the fictional name for the community but is really Wilmington. But we got to go on several sets including the house of one of the couples in the series. It was great seeing this completely non-functioning, yet beautiful house set, complete with patio and pool in the "back yard" all inside the studio building. I need to Netflix this show now since I've seen where it is filmed.
We saw three different sets for this show, and then went to the screening room to see a montage of all the things Screen Gems has produced. Several people (all young) on the tour were fanatical fans of longstanding of this show, and just oooohhhhhed and ahhhhhhhed at the sets.
We ate lunch in the shadow of the Battleship North Carolina (not at the studio!) and then went to see the movie Sarah's Key which was excellent and fairly true to the book from what I remember of the book.
Dinner at one of the clubhouses of the St. James Plantation community where Patti and Larry live. After dinner we went outside to sit by the firepit and drink kahlua and cream. Such a lovely ending to a beautiful visit.
Tomorrow I hit the road early (with half of a pizza left over from tonight to sustain me) and head back up to Casey's. Hard to believe that tomorrow night I'll be in a hotel in DC awaiting the Paul Fisher lecture Monday morning.
Loved hearing from Chautauqua friends today. . Susan and Betty! Miss you guys!
