Hi Everyone,

Whoa, we have been busy over the last few weeks. We have had a boatload of company, fireworks, cookouts, and more company. Most of my family lives in IL, and most of my friends live in Ohio. Over the last few weeks we have been showing folks around the Smoky Mountains here in TN. We have had a grand time. As much as I have been trying my best to keep up with capturing moments in pictures, it seems as I look back I only have a few. The good part though is we have made about a gazzillion memories, and had about that many laughs. Some of the highlights of the last of few weeks are we hiked Clingman's Dome, the highest point in Tennessee, we saw bears, light fireworks with the neighbors, saw animals at Cades Cove, went across the Gatlinburg Skybridge, saw a pretty rainbow, went to Maggie Valley NC, drove part of the BlueRidge Parkway, saw some real elk, and enjoyed time with our family and friends. 

Spend time with your friends, and your family because you never know what the future holds. Also, leave behind your technology and make memories. 

Live Life. Be Blessed.

TAM
