Musings of a Catholic Convert

I love the Smokies. Every time I visit my folks, I try to find a way to visit the mountains. I could spend days there, just enjoying the pristine beauty of God's creation there. My kids? They just like playing in the mountain streams. I enjoy that myself, but let me tell you, that water is C-O-L-D.

This was a very relaxing and long weekend for us. I enjoyed visiting with my family. The holiday also gave us another opportunity to go together to decorate the graves of our departed family. I took the time to talk to my kids about the family members, some of whom my kids never got to meet. It was a sad time because we miss having our family with us, but it is also a good time to remember our time here with them and share our love for them with our kids.

What did we see in the Smokies?

12 Deer, 2 Black Bear, 1 Wild Turkey (the bird, not the bottle)

Lots of fun and lots of rest, even though I spent a goodly amount of time working on a data project. That's what late evenings are for, especially while I'm watching Unbeatable Banzuke. I gotta get G4 for my cable tv. Our Japanese friends have such awesome game shows.

Not convinced?
