Hello. We just returned (my mother and I) from a quick trip to Knoxville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, & The Great Smokey Mountains. We went up to see Crickett, Justin, Lexie, and Will. We got there Wednesday around noon and then went into Pigeon Forge for lunch and to find some quilts (we did and how). Then we drove through Gatlinburg on the way to the mountains. We headed toward Cades Cove to see if we could find some critters....we saw a Momma bear feeding her baby, about 50 deer, and a bunch of turkeys. We took lots of pictures and the kids had a blast. After the afternoon and early evening there, we picked up some KFC on the way home and headed on. Went to bed late and up early to hit the road. Lexie and Will are so adorable I could just eat them up. We also had their cousin Tucker with us and he had a good time too. Mom and I headed home today, stopped off in Dickson for some shopping, then took the back roads home. Tennessee is a beautiful state. Now back to reality and back to work tomorrow.
