3/21/20 Mike and I and 2 dogs Life is hard enough without the added stress of the Corona Virus. In a million years I couldn't imagine having to close all the restaurants, most of the stores in my town where so many friends and neighbors are trying to eek out a living. Then to have...

2/29/20 Sherri, Brandi, Cathy, Andi, Kristin and me Hiking is awesome. I love it and I crave it. I have what my kids call FOMO or fear of missing out. I'm envious when I miss a hike or if I see someone do a great hike I have to go. I did the hike to... Continue Reading →
Sherri and I 2/22/20 Sherri picked this hike. I recently saw other hikers who have done this one in the snow. It looked like a good one.

11/15/19 Mike, Gina and I I just love hiking in the Linville Gorge. Today I got to show it off to someone who hasn't been there. That was so much fun! Her ears might be burning because I surely played trail guide! I could hardly contain my excitement. The first place I wanted to go... Continue Reading →
11/2/19 Sherri and I Today is the big hike! It's over an hour from where we stayed in Cherokee back towards I-40. The cars in the lot are frozen this morning! We didn't know how to dress. We checked out and headed through Maggie Valley where we stopped at pancake house and chowed down on,... Continue Reading →
10/31 - 11/2 Sherri and I Sherri asked me what time I wanted to leave Friday. I said Thursday! So right after work Thursday we left and headed to our hotel in Cherokee. The GPS said to turn on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We did and at the top of the turn - road closed?... Continue Reading →
