A few more pictures ... not in order....

This photo was taken as we entered the Smoky's ... we

were going to drive thru Cade's Cove

One of the old homes in Cade's Cove



Another old building in Cade's Cove

Cade's Cove is an 11 mile, one-way loop in a section of the Smoky Mtn's

Stef & I found a sign at the Visitor Center that said

"Caution: Snakes are active at all buildings"

Needless to say, we did not venture to any of the buildings on foot!
Stef told me "I was hoping you wouldn't see that sign" because she wanted to explore the buildings ... I did too 'til I read about snakes ... I do not care for them

A fence ..

A wild, skinny turkey .. how do they get so plump for Thanksgiving?

I think I know .....

A tree in front of the stream in Cade's Cove

There's only so much time to take pictures when the car is moving

A better view...

Safely back on the mountain and in the cabin...

Shelly, we did have a great time and memories were made for all of us.

I talked with Kay yesterday (Aug. 26) and she said her new motto for life is:

"Live in such a way that no one gives a sigh of relief when you're gone"

I agree whole-heartedly. I want to be missed by those who knew me when I leave this earth.

More than that, I want to hear the good Lord say

"Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into your reward" when I reach heaven.

Thanks for reading everyone! More pictures later!

I love you!
