Howdy…..things
are going great. Weather is sunny and
today the temperature was up to 21C (shorts weather yeahhhh). Yesterday we got groceries and we
figured it costs about 20% more than
home. Jerry made some chicken soup
yesterday so that will do us for our dinners for awhile..hehe. We took our bikes off the rack and they
needed cleaning and oiling and then off to a trail we went. Well, I did a lot of walking with
my bike..hehe…very hilly here; not a place for bikes for sure. Today Jerry got his run in, and we did a 4
mile walking trail in The Smokey Mountains. We went to Sevierville to take a picture with
Dolly Parton’s statue, in her home town, Sevierville (only 15 minute drive from
here). We also decided today on what
shows we are going to buy tickets for…we chose:
Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede and Smoky Mountain Opry.
Chat later....xoxo
