Pat and Larry's site at their favorite campground out near the TN border. There is a small stream running through the campground and the lots are nicely shaded. The other RV park is a concrete jungle where everyone is on top of each other and the sun beats down on the RVs.

All the Sofies running to greet us.

When someone arrives at the campground, there is a thunderous stampede down the hill as you are greet by Sofie, Sofie, and other Sofies and a few roosters.

I've never seen chickens travel at such speed or make so much noise. They sounded like a buffalo stampede.

Waiting for bread crumbs, biscuits, muffins, or whatever crumbs you bring from a restaurant in the "doggie" bag.


Working outhouse decorated for Halloween. The owners decorate it inside and outside for each holiday.

Pat and Larry's acreage and site of their retirement home.

We went out to their lot and celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with the ladybugs.

Larry and Pat have been here for a week to enjoy the foliage and renew their wedding vows. It was actually very warm that afternoon and we were invaded by ladybugs out on their land. Better than being infested with bedbugs. After we brushed the ladybugs out of hair, we went to Brother's Restaurant for a good meal. The weather has been gorgeous. Nights cold and crisp with days heating up to mid 70's.

As I post this at 7:30 AM, we just had a line of severe thunderstorms pass through the area. Cliff is down at the fire station. There are trees across the roads and wires down in other areas. We're ok up here. Power flickered and browned-out as the storm passed through.
