The Smoky Mountains

The Great Adventure:
The Smoky Mountains are beautiful, but some of the roads can be really challenging in a Motor Home. Last night a Coyote visited our campsite and the neighbors chased him away by beating on pots and pans. At least it wasn’t a bear!
Our campsite was right next to a fast running stream. Every time it rained, it turned into a river. The kids went down it in inner tubes. I put my toe in the water and shuddered. This little Keys Lady is used to WARM water! I decided to watch rather then participate.
The day before, John and I hiked up to Laurel Falls. The sign said 1.3 miles, but it was all up hill! I have a picture of John at the falls, and he really looks pooped.
I have been selling books everywhere we've stopped and handing out a lot of cards. The people we are meeting are really interesting and fun to get to know. Today we are trying to get out refrigerator fixed. It died two weeks ago and we have been waiting for the parts.
It will be great to here the pitter patter of ice cubes dropping!
I just heard that I will be a guest author on Long and Short Reviews August 23. I’m giving away goodies every lady would like and an autographed copy of Saving Tampa. Check it out!

On The Road Again

Hi Everyone,
We just had a great time in Live Oaks, FL at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park. If you have a chance, I highly recommend that you stop there, or make it your destination. They rent cabins, so you don’t need an RV. We had a free concert last night and it was fantastic. I couldn't believe the low prices. NOTHING WAS EXPENSIVE.
I already forgot the band’s name, but they played everything from rock to Willie Nelson and did it well. It’s the first time John and I have danced in years. If you have time, look it up on the Internet www.suwannneechamber.com Live Oak is also a pretty place with large pitch pole pines and sandy ground.
I sold several books and handed out a lot of cards. It's a good thing I just ordered another thousand.
So far we are having “A Great Adventure.” Today we are on our way to Atlanta. We'll stop overnight and visit a friend I have loved for 40 years! Have a great day. For more information click here.
