This morning Karen's Dad left us to make the journey to his eternal reward. Our family was all gathered around when he made his peaceful transition. We dressed him for the journey in his western best, including his boots, then shrouded this World War II Navy Air Corps...
Having a local guide is always a plus. Today Karen's sister, Patti, led us to Braum's, an ice cream shop, a dairy and bakery store, and a restaurant serving scrumptious burgers and more! It truly struck a chord in that it is so much like the businesses that were...

For the twenty-four years prior to our moving to Tween Creeks, our house was the home of Mary Kay. It was here she raised her son Aaron. Today she, Aaron, and Amanda came to show Lila the "mountain chalet" where her Daddy grew up. She even got to stand in the doorway...
It's been quite a journey! Last night we arrived at our lodgings just before eleven knowing that by morning the tropical storm would be bearing down upon us in Crossville, Tennessee. Sure enough when we awakened at six this morning the light rain had started. This...
