Fall Time in the Smokies Part II

Part II

Beautiful views in Cades Cove

 

The sound of rushing water driving through the mountains

Gatlinburg was so much fun this year with Brittini. She was actually old enough to enjoy the scenery. 

Breakfast a Crockett's was totally amazing. All country cooking's you can imagine. You must try their "King" size Cinnamon Rolls!!

Back to Pigeon Forge to Paula Dean's for lunch was next on our schedule. It too was amazing. Fried chicken and the banana pudding was my favorite! My husband and Paula had  great conversation...lol Her store is filled with beautiful gift's for all.

Our view from our table at Paula Dean's and Brittini on the Merry Go Round after lunch with her daddy. 

Fall Time in the Smokeys Part I

Fall Time in the Smokies 

Hello to all of my viewers. Hope you all are enjoying this great Fall Season. I have been very busy lately and just wanted to share some pictures of a trip that we just made to Cades Cove, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg Tennessee.

        While there we managed to make it to a few attractions and to visit Cades Cove. Talk about God's beauty! Amazing mountains and foliage keeps you in continual ahhhhhh. The day we choose was perfect weather and the breeze was wonderful. Our son and 4 year old granddaughter Brittini was along with us and to hear all of the things this child had to say was worth the whole trip. 

Brittini seen a wild turkey for the first time and she gobbled for 20 minutes afterwards. We didn't see a bear or deer this trip, but the one a few months ago we seen a mama bear with two cubs and 2 deer. 

Driving through the water was so much fun.

Studebaker "Classic Cars"

  BEAUTIFUL

 1963 Gran Tursimo Hawk

What a beautiful Saturday we had today in Georgia. I hope your's was as well. Seen a lot of "Classic Cars" while riding through some of the country and highways. One of our favorites is the Studebaker. We have a 1963 Studebaker Gran Tursimo Hawk. Our kids and grandchildren have really enjoyed the times they got to ride in it.

Nana's Soup & Fried Corn Bread

Yummy!!!

Today has been a very dreary rainy day. I decided to make some beef stew soup, fried corn bread and sweet tea for dinner. A family favorite all through the year and especially during the cold winter months.

As a child my mom made fried corn bread many times for us and sometimes she would put honey on it. So yummy! 

Kids Say the Darndist Things

My grandchildren have been such a blessing to us. Among the many things that keep our fire burning is the cute things they say.

Brittini our youngest of 12 is 4 and she is so talkative. She said yesterday as granddaddy was finishing replacing the toilet handle;
B- Is it flushable now?
Me-Yes
B- Ok, here goes everything! lol

At dinner last night she told her granddaddy that he could get a surprise after dinner if he followed her directions...lol 
He ignored her and she said; at the count of one you better be standing up! I will not count to three....hehehehehe. 
It is so hard to keep a straight face with her.

B is a very strong willed child. Wonder where she got that...lol Her dad was as well.

Family, Fun Time & Memories

 Charles and I have been married 45 years as of July, 2017. We were blessed with 4 children, 12 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren.  Sharing just a few pictures of our family. We are very close and have so much fun when we have family gatherings. When the children were growing up we lived out in the country and they had a lot of fun riding horses, bicycles, jumping on the trampoline, and swimming.
What a joy for us as parents to be able to be with our children even tough we both worked. We always managed to work our schedule to be with them. Yes, we were fortunate and thankful that I could own my own business and have them with me while their dad went to College and worked full time.
Memories we will cherish forever. Love our kiddo's!!
