Back to Dollywood

Yes we did. We went back to Dollywood today. We went into the Showstreet Palace and saw the gospel group "Kingdom Heirs Quartet". They did pretty well.

If you don't like shows maybe you would like one of the many rides here,such as the carousel.

They have begun to set up for the month of october with things like this pumpkin tree.

Strange

It sure does seem strange that the price of gas was $3.63 a gallon and when the storm hit there was a shortage of gas and it went to near $5.00 a gallon? Now at $5.00 a gallon they have the gas for you. I guess it is the greedy world we live in today. We're not doing much of anything just getting some sun and watching the days go by.

WOW Price of gas

Yesterday we spent the most of the day at Joey's. Nancy needed to was a load of clothes so she thought that we would go over there to do the clothes instead of going to the laundromat. We had a nice visit and also we bought pizza to eat yesterday evening. Joey and I had a good time playing the different Wii games. These games are just like doing the real thing and really wear me out.
I started to fill up my fuel tank last night but I didn't and boy,wish I had of. I went to the station here close to the campground today and they were sold out. The stations in town were selling regular gas for $5.00 a gallon and still selling out.

Barbeque & Bluegrass

We went to Dollywood today to walk around and also to see some of our friends that we use to work with here. It was Barbeque and Bluegrass time in Dollywood.

Here is a pig being roasted and ready for the sauce. Bluegrass music was all around and so was the food.

Don't like barbeque? How about sauage with onions and peppers that is being prepared in a very large skillet? If you don't like any of that there are many other places to eat here on the park.

Dolly even had her bus here this time. This lady travels a bunch of miles. We had a nice time listening to some music and taking in a country show.

You can tell what people around this part of the country think about Dolly.

Ordinary Day

Nothing unusual today. Nancy got her hair cut.
I was a little busy,I had to put a new set of brake pads on the front of the car.
How is that for a short report of the day.

Around Town

It looks like they are gearing up for another car show this week end. There seems to be more old chevrolets than anything thing else.

A good way to ge around town is by trolley. Here is a new one that is a Hybird that runs on propane. Get on one of these and let someone else drive while you look around.

One of the more popular shows is the Country Tonite Show. This is a very good show that I have seen several times

Whatever you come to Pigeon forge for I'm sure you will enjoy your self.

Things to do

There are several things to do in the Pigeon Forge area. If you like to play golf there are several golf courses in the area like this one that you may pass on the way to Dollywood.

Speaking of Dollywood, that is a good way to spend an entire day with everything for the whole family. They have live shows,music and rides of all kinds.

This is one place that bikers love to come to ride. They like to go up in the mountains where it is cool when the valley is rather warm.

You can always see an old car even when they are not having a car show of any kind. With the many motels and campgrounds you are sure to find a place to stay. There is always a crowd here summer and winter alike and the streets are dressed out in whatever season.

Gorgeous Sunrise

Yesterday morning we had another beautiful sunrise to start the day out. Its amazing how many different looking sunrises you can see in one spot.

Tere was a huge number of buzzards out near the water looking to see what they could find. They were tearing up a large piece of plastic material.

The day was hot again in the 90's and I spent the biggest part of the day runnung around checking on a varity of things that needed to be done.

Last night Joey got us free tickets to the Magic show starring Magician Terry Evanswood. He did quite a few amazing tricks that left you saying "how did he do that".

Another good day.

Book Trading Time

Nancy like to come to Pigeon Forge because there is a good used book store with a lot of books and they will take her books as trade in. This time around she had 8 bags of books to trade. Of course the book store is the winner in this deal as she got 2 bags of books and she had to pay $17.00. But still cheaper then buying new books. That woman reads a bunch of books.

After the books store we went to visit Joey a couple of hours then it was of to WalMart to do some shopping on the way home we stopped at the Little Caesar's Pizza and got a "hot and ready". With a late start on the day that was our eventful dy.a

Beautiful Day

I got up early enough this morning to look out the window and saw the sun coming up over the mountain and looking into the lake. I said thank you Lord for another beautiful morning.

After we had a jelly biscuit and a cup of coffee we poured another cup and went outside to enjoy the morning for a while longer. When we got ready we went to the laundromat where Nancy had a large load of clothes to do. The rest of the day was spent just relaxing.

Family Reunion

Well another Family Reunion has come and gone. We had a good time visiting with one another and talking about what has gone on in our lives the past year. We had more than enough to eat and the Karoake Sunday night was entertaining,

We moved out to Douglas Lake to stay a while longer in the area. We have some business to attend to before we leave and we will stay extra days.

This week end the town of Pigeon Forge will be crowded once again with the "Shades of the Past" auto show.
