No Fishing on Thursday!

As I told you before we don't do much when we have time off. We usually go to town once a day to eat a meal and then we drive around in the mountains for a while and then spend the rest of the evening relaxing. We go to bed when we want, get up when we want and eat when we want. We operate on no schedule and make no plans.

On our drive during our first day here we found something we hadn't seen. As you drive into Gatlinburg from Pigeon Forge there is a little park on the right side of the road. The park has a new part and it is pretty neat. It is a new fishing pier on the Little Pigeon River and is built to be completely handicap accessible.

It has a nice big flat concrete platform for fishing.

It has a handicap ramp from the parking lot all the way down to the fishing pier.

The whole project was the vision of William Stevens who served Gatlinburg in the early 90's as City Commissioner and Mayor. He loved to fish in the Little Pigeon River and wanted everybody to be able to enjoy it. We think that is pretty neat. Children under 12 and the handicapped can access the river for fishing and fish for free.

Below is a picture of he Fishing Pier Regulations. Everything is pretty standard except for rule # 2. Can you see it? No fishing is allowed on Thursday....

What? No fishing on Thursday? My guess is the fish don't do Thursdays. Even fish need a day off! That is hilarious to me.....

Have a great day....

Odie the Deer Hunter

Odie and her cousin Hunter Morgan

Many of you have ask about Odie's deer hunting experience this past weekend. Well .... She had a great time with her Uncle Danny Morgan but she is still a deer hunter and not a deer killer! She did get a shot at one from about 65 yards but no hit. 

If I understand correctly she hunted from a barn on a neighbor's property on Friday and hunted on her Papaw's property on Saturday. Odie told me they saw some more deer but couldn't get them close enough. I guess that is part of the fun. She will enjoy her first successful hunt that much better when it comes...

She is supposed to try again another day in December so we are hoping she can kill a deer then. Thanks for thinking of her and praying for her. We also appreciate Kelly Jo's brother Danny for taking time necessary for Odie to hunt.

There are a few more pictures of Odie's day of hunting below.

Kelly Jo and I have had lots more of nothing in Tennessee today!

Beechfork & The Woods Family

Today (Sunday) we drove about 80 miles to Beechfork Holiness Church. We had a good service and it was very good to see every one again. After service we went out with the Woods family and some of the other folks from the church.

Bro. Herman and Sis. Margaret Woods, Mark, Cassie, Chase, Tyler and us...

All of the Woods family was able to make it except for Rob and Dena. Dena has been very sick this week. Since they couldn't make it to church or lunch she sent her home made chocolate fudge in their place. All is forgiven! Totally and completely forgiven!

Nothing like fudge to cause forgiveness to spring up in my heart and flow down like hot melting chocolate covering all the hurt and the pain. Of course a double cheeseburger with grilled onions and the grease left in will do the same thing, so I guess I am pretty easy. lol  No sense holding a grudge when you can hold a greasy double cheeseburger instead! Somebody have a napkin?

Other than that, we are pretty much doing nothing and having a ball doing it!
