34 years

We were married 34 yrs. yesterday. Each yr. we go to our favorite spot in Smokies.Around here we call it our back yard. Cades Cove. We Love it there ,it is Beautiful and so relaxing! Due to rain we had to go a day early but that was fine with us! Here are some pictures of somethings you see there.Theres houses,cabins etc. from where people use to live .Also churches.A store.

The Loop Rd. you drive around is 11 miles. Theres a picnic area with grills and mtn. streams running through.

Most of the time theres wild flowers of some sort in bloom.

Different wildlife you see more early morning and at dusk.

We saw more Bears this trip than we've seen in a few yrs. If you ever come to Cades Cove,PLEASE keep your distance from the wild life. It amazes me the people who gets out of their autos and tries to get very close to wildlife. Send kids close to get a picture. I want to tell them the danger (but I don't) lol they are "wild" not a petting zoo!!!!!!!!!

We Love Cades Cove its our favorite spot in the mtns. Theres so much more you see besides these photos. Its so relaxing!
Every trip I have to check out the cookbooks,I'm a cookbook junkie! :o) They have great cookbooks some with recipes 100-200 yrs. old. Sometimes I think I was born 100 yrs. too late.lol Alot of herbal remedies in some.

Happy 34th Babes!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

DH's Mom is getting worse and the sis-n-law that helps with her had a busy wk. so we had to fill in for her plus our days.
A Friends has been in the hospital, now doing good now.
And this week has been so hard for my Sisiter. Her 1st yr. without her only child. R.I.P. Jason 12-24-74----2-14-10.He was Little Shadows Dad.My Sister and Hubs has custody of her. We try to help out as much as possible with her. She is such a Blessing. We took them out this a.m. and had them here for supper.

Seems lately there is not enough hours in the day! When Family and Friends needs you , We think we must be there for them!
