Good Morning Eileen & Arlene!
Eileen, glad you have gotten away for a break & are enjoying yourself. That is beautiful country... I have visited several times. I have also found ppl from the South tend to be more courteous than here in the Northeast...especially in TN. My brother lived in Chattanooga & our travels there were always pleasant.
I saw the Rockies once & they were beautiful in their own way. Eileen, my youngest daughter lived right outside Yellowstone & absolutely loved all of Montana she was able to see. She said she would have stayed out there except for the family being here in the East. She still talks about the beauty and cleanliness there...
Arlene, my bucket list has the Grand Canyon on it. If I hadn't already believed in God it would have made me a believer!
My life has been boring, too! Get up, look for jobs, do some housework, eat, walk, etc.
Hope all is okay with Jeannie & Kenny...
Gonna scoot.

Arlene, the Rockies have plenty of green ... but in the summer. I lived there for five years. I loved it in Montana. My favorite place of all places. The green there is from firs, quaking aspens, pines and other trees I can't remember. And the wildflowers are glorious. I want to go back sometime.
We saw many trees in bloom on the way down. We usually go in April because it's my birthday week and it's offseason so it's not so crowded.
I have been unable to log on for a long time, and finally can, so glad to be back.
Aloha,
Maui Karen
Well, Eileen, hope you will be right back.
I love, love, the Smokies. I just have to go back to see them. Although I was there a long time ago, they are on my bucket list. Such beautiful mountains. No, I have not been out West to see the Rockies, but I like my mountains with green vegetation. I remember my second ex telling me to close my eyes as we got closer to the Smokies. When we got there I opened my eyes.
These mountains are proof of God's beauty.
Enjoy while you are there and PLEASE take pictures. It must be beautiful there in the Springtime. ENJOY YOUR VACATION!!!
To everyone on off, Have a great day. Not many people posting the last few days. I don't post often because I lead a boring life, lol. But I think of you ladies all the time.
My prayers and love to all.
Hello from the Smokey Mountains:
The Smokies are really smokey today ... it's raining and the forecast was for 100 percent rain. Which is OK because today was when Gary had to go for his sales presentation. I reminded him to just say no.
We had a long day in the car ... ran into a bit of construction coming down that delayed the trip but not really badly. Gary bought me my dinner at this brewpub I like ... had this steak marinated in one of their beers that melted like butter in my mouth. Still have some left. Plus I got free dessert, butterfinger cheesecake. Oh, I ate so much. Took awhile to get it to settle.
When we got in, I took to making my bed (the sleeper sofa) and we discovered there were no sheets. So we had to call down to the desk. And we had problems with the TV. We were supposed to have HBO, but it wouldn't come in. So we had the maintenance guy in a couple of times because the TV had a bad cable. And housekeeping had to bring in sheets ... well, they gave me one flat sheet, no other flat sheet. I had a blanket, but not very warm, so I was cold most of the night. So this morning I asked for another blanket and more coffee (we got one packet of coffee each ... decaf and regular). Housekeeping just came up with the blanket and one packet each of decaf and regular. Gee, don't be so skimpy.
After Gary gets done with his presentation, I think we'll go on the winery trail. I just have to find it. There's also an arts and craft trail that we have done before. I don't need any more things in my house, but I can always use more wine. I bought a four-pack of beer last night from the brewery.
Anyway, that's how I'm spending my vacation. Just relaxing. I'm still in my jammies. Need more coffee. I think I still have another cup in the pot. Have a good day.
Better late than never. I wished you Happy Birthday on Facebook, but hope you had a wonderful birthday, Eileen.
Judy, so sorry about Bandit. Yes, you probably should get his teeth cleaned if he has a heart murmur. Anything wrong in the system goes to the heart. I know about expensive pets. I had to cash in my change bucket for this little trip. Not buying any crap on vacation ... just enjoying being away.
Yeah, my car needs work, I need a crown on my tooth and I have to pay fed taxes. So join the crowd.
Thanks everyone. We had a long day on the road, but a great dinner. The time share villa is OK, not great, but it'll do. The sofa bed is not all that comfortable, but Gary says his bed isn't that comfortable either.
Sorry I'm late posting..... but I hope you had a very happy birthday. So glad you're on vacation and enjoying yourself! It's always good to get away and celebrate.
