Home - October 7, 2025

We've made it home from our trip to east Tennessee.  

We stayed in a huge cabin near Gatlinburg with about five other families, all friends and relatives of the bride and groom.  The wedding was lovely and sweet, and the company was enjoyable.  The weather could not have been better.  

BUT.

There was an event in town, a gathering of car owners driving little cars with loud tailpipes that emitted noises like gunshots.  Traffic was a nightmare.  We had to make a grocery store run Friday afternoon, and it took us over 30 minutes to go 5 miles.  Saturday night, there was a fight among some of the drivers, resulting in the cancellation of some big event scheduled for Sunday.  Evidently, many of the folks went home, for Sunday was quieter.

We started home yesterday but stopped in Knoxville to have breakfast with Granddaughter #1.  We pulled into our driveway about 4:30 yesterday afternoon.  I was in bed by 9.

I did a walk-about in the yard before I went to bed.  Either the rabbit has not discovered the cabbages or it doesn't like them, for they are still standing.  

I need to go check on my community garden plots this morning to see if anything needs to be picked.  I've also scheduled a grocery store order to be picked up between 9 and 10.  It's raining sporadically right now.  Hopefully, I can catch a break in the rain to pick the vegetables and unload the groceries.

It's so good to be home.
