Happy Father's Day to all who have logged in today. Even though we are away from our family on this day, we celebrate our togetherness, happiness, and love each day!
Yesterday we went to Townsend and along the way on Wears Valley Road was a new RV Resort in the early development stages. These sites are "for sale" and set in the valley with the georgous mountains as the backdrop! WOW! What beauty! Last night we went to a show "Magic Beyond Belief" and was very good. During the intermission Terry Evanswood, the magician, came out and spoke to us about the Lord. What a fulfilling spiritual enjoyment to hear the audience clap and hear some "amens"!
Early this a.m. we moved across the road to a concrete site with the backyard area overlooking the waterway. Today is party cloudy and the rain we had last evening was enough to water grass and plants and refresh the earth.
Have been listening to the news about Tim Russert's death. We were shocked and always enjoyed him on Meet the Press and all his many interviews.
Looking forward to another day of whatever goes!
Until then......

Pigeon Forge Retreat
Well, it didn't take long for us to recoup from the Samboree, do some work, and head out again for a mini vacation in the Great Smokey Mtns. Well....Pigeon Forge area. Actually, we are going to enjoy our 41st Anniversary while here. We are staying in Sevierville at the River Plantation RV Park. We just plan on doing some R&R, catch a couple shows, and probably sightsee around.
Left Thursday and spent the night at Caney Creek RV Resort in Harriman, TN. What a beautiful place!! They are continuing their development/expansion. All sites are concrete pads with most of them by the lakeside. MANY trails to walk, pool, laundry room, shuffle board, beach volleyball, kids playground, 2 boat docks, and a fishing ramp. It is gated so security is great. We will definitely be back to spend more time. For those of you who love to be on the water or fish, this is an excellent place. The boat ramp is just a short drive which you can see from the resort across the lake.
Today, we arrived at River Plantation. Fixed lunch and then watched our Netflix movie, "The Bucket List". Took ourselves and Jenny for a long walk. The weekend Flea Market is open (sits next to I-40) so we may venture over there and then go back to Bass Pro across the interstate.
Well, now you know where we are and that we are back to traveling. So stay tune ... to keep up with the Smiths!!

Back Home & Rested
Hi, everyone! The TN Spring Samboree is over and what a great time it was! Of course, everything comes to an end and all saying our good-byes and wondering when we will meet again. It was HOT but thank the good Lord for the constant breeze we had. All of us were exhausted and came home tired...from the heat, activities, responsibilities, and just "plain ole tired"!!
I did do some laundry Sunday and finished the rest Monday. I still need to laundry the RV bedding and clean up the RV. BUT, that will come later.
Our next TN Samboree will be in Jackson in October. Before that will be the AL Samboree in September. Hopefully, after Jackson will be able to head to the MS Samboree. For those of you reading this, I encourage you to attend other state Samborees. They are fun and what wonderful people you meet who become your friends!
Our theme "Wild, Wild West" was a success! There was a local Saddle Club that came for 4 days and added "the touch" to our theme. Not only riding their horses, but there was a mule and a buggy. Many enjoyed the rides and especially the children in attendence. One lady dressed in her indian maiden dress. The riders stayed focused on our theme and seemed to really enjoy being with us.
Of course, when in Lebanon one must eat at the Sunset Restaurant. Can't find any better place to get home cooked meals and homemade pies and banana pudding!
Mike and I do look forward to any comments you post. As we travel, we like to post and let you know what is going on with the Smiths while traveling. We did cancel our trip to Cheyenne, WY, rodeo in July. Gas prices REALLY makes one stop and put priorities in place. SO keep checking back and see what might be written. Short trips will be added to this post.
