Fall Colors 2024
One of the benefits of living in the mountains is we get to watch the beauty of the Fall colors as the leaves change from the top of the mountain down. With so much destruction in the area from the rains before and during Hurricane Helene, it was nice to get out and enjoy the…

Jonesborough Garden Tour
Jonesborough is the oldest town in Tennessee and they always have something going on. It is the center for the International Storytelling Festival where THOUSANDS come to enjoy the stories shared. I saw that there was a Garden Gala happening and just had to check it out. I reached out to my friend, Jessica, and…

Disney Kids: May 2024
The adult kids are coming to town – what should we do?? Go to Disney, of course! When the kids started planning to come down for the Parentals anniversary party, Sarah really wanted to make sure they got to visit Disney because Johnathon had never been and is a huge Star Wars fan. So, we…

Epic Fail?
I failed at retirement. I have come to the conclusion that retirement is harder than working. Well, I guess I only “kinda” retired, so I only “kinda” failed. Greg didn’t retire at all, so he is still working 8-10 hour days. It’s not fun being retired without him! I can only read so much without…

Back “Home” to TN
We left the farm on February 4th and I already miss it. Well, not the mosquitos, but I was able to spend some quality time chatting with Aunt Lynn and then whatever Uncle Harry and Uncle Jim were up to that day. I’ll miss that for sure. Greg also got to spend some quality time…

Disney Kids: January 2023
We had our first visitor, Brayden, stay with us and took him to Disney to experience the magic for the first time for the last day of his visit in FL. We did two parks in one day and I think we gave him sensory overload. We started the day in Magic Kingdom so he…

Hot Vegas Weekend
I missed my little brother, Drew. He has lived and worked in Vegas for many years and I don’t see his as often as I used to. He has always come to family functions and even flew out to surprise me for my doctoral graduation! So, I booked a flight for Vegas just to see…

Disney Kids: Dec 2023
After driving for four days, spending time with family, and then setting up down on the farm, we were done adulting and wanted to be kids again. We booked a 3-day quick trip up to Disney to visit Magic Kingdom, Epcot (of course), and Hollywood Studios. We drove up on a Sunday, and had plans…

Brights Zoo
Just down the road from where we were staying in Chuckey, TN, is Brights Zoo. It’s a sweet little zoo, and the reason we went was because they had a rare patternless giraffe birth there that we wanted to see the new baby giraffe, Kipekee. Going in, we were very shocked at how large the…
