Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Tuesday: After spending two of my first five days of travel in truck stops, I’m looking forward to two nights in this beautiful park. I’m parked beside a rushing mountain stream, although without my hearing aids, it’s a lot quieter, but I can still hear it 🙂 praise God! The moral of this story is…

Goodbyes
This whole week has been hard work during the day getting Harvey ready and goodbyes in the evening. My mother and father in law, Gennie and Forest gave me a wonderful dinner on Sunday; my school girls (Eleanor- the manicotti was wonderful, Liz, Becky, Vanessa, and Terri); old friends from – yes it’s been 42…

April
We slid into April like coming into home plate, leaving March quickly behind. Cold, raw March with just a few days of promise of warmer days to come. Easter holiday doesn’t mean as much without the ‘church’ factor. No family around to invite for dinner. Going to Dan and John’s and I’m sure it will…
