On Top Of Old Smoky











Sea BreezesWe recently flew to the lovely Smoky Mountains to see our Tennessee kids. We arrived late in the evening in Knoxville via Atlanta, via Jacksonville. Blake met us at the airport, and we appreciated his staying up late to pick up his parents. He works at the airport, so he deserved kudos for coming back on a Friday night. The rest of the gang was nestled all snug in their beds. The next morning, we were greeted by the lovely music of Henley, Lander and Paisley. Seeing them all was wonderful. After a big breakfast, we were off to Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountains. I have included a few photos of the weekend to share. We had a great time seeing the mountains, laughing and enjoying grandchildren. We went to church together, watched a movie and had Sunday afternoon lunch at a great restaurant in Knoxville on the Tennessee River. Lander just turned five and showed us his birthday pix, Henley shared with us her musical skill as she is taking piano lessons, and little Paisley is busy being two. Growing children, they are all so precious. Mommy Tonya is busy taking care of this crew. All too soon, the weekend was over, and we had to hop back on a plane early, early on Monday morning. We made another special memory to pull out when we miss our Tennessee kids-which is every day!
