Restless leg was strong with this Granny last night so what do I do? Think. For some reason this old blog came to mind. I read over some of the entries and decided that calling it "The Holcombs" no longer applied since we are now empty nesters and live in NC away from most of the children and grandchildren. So think, think, think.....since I need to write and get things out of my head😉 I decided to rename this blog and use it for all things me. Family, marriage, travels and my own opinions about things...I know that most people don't give two hoots about what I think and that's ok, but it sure makes me feel better to get some musings out of my head. SO....this should be an interesting journey for me and you if you decide to read and if not...I wish you a happy life..
This past week was a wonderful time....Monday and Tuesday were for exercise class and getting prepared for our trip. Jim is now over an office in Knoxville and I decided to travel with him this time. But before we could start our travel Wednesday, we both had appts...Jim teeth cleaning and I had cardiologist to review tests I had taken. Jim's teeth are good (this is for my MIL who I know will read😂) and my cardio visit was excellent. All tests came back great and after years of every 6 months visits, I have now been told that every looks so good that I can change it to yearly!!! Answered prayers!!!!
Anyway.. we left for Knoxville Wednesday afternoon...such a beautiful drive. Jim worked Thursday and I stayed in hotel, worked on my diamond painting and watched Designing Woman (Lauren Bacall) and Singing in the Rain...this was my kind of day... We drove down to Pigeon Forge for dinner at Mel's Diner. Very cute and FULL... Jim only worked until 2 Friday so we went to the Island at Pigeon Forge and spent the afternoon. We looked in almost every shop they had but our favorite was sitting in the rocking chairs outside the Moonshine store and listening to live bluegrass music. Weather was perfect and we enjoyed the music and people watching...Saturday we started our journey home but first we went to the Bush Bean factory and visitor center. We had a blast. "Roll that beautiful bean footage"..lol Of course Jim didn't leave without a bag full of a variety of beans. We drove thru part of the parkway...missed our turn and Matilda (our GPS) rerouted us. OMG what a route she took us on...let's just say we were glad we had plenty of gas and we didn't hear any banjos😱 We made it Home Sweet Home 😊
Now to start my week with laundry, cleaning and trying to stay out of trouble!!!
