Last weekend was our annual trip to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. We usually get there just in time to see the fall colors at their peak – but not this year. Way too much rain and warmth during the summer – the leaves still haven’t started changing here in Ohio, 300 miles to the north.
But we still had fun . . .
Got to spend the weekend visiting (harassing?) my dear friends Darlene Domel and Picasso Gaglione, the Fairy Godmother and Godfather of Rubber Stamping. They are still enjoying their well-deserved retirement in Knoxville, but come out of hiding once a year to join us. Some of their neighbors even stopped by to see what it is they have been talking about all of this time . . .
Steve Lindeman from Toomuchfun commandeered a scooter on Sunday and did a few laps around the convention hall . . .
My friend Suzanne Reed took advantage of the “demo table extenders” that I designed for Sally Lynn MacDonald from Gel Press – both ladies like to stand and have the blessing of higher than normal elevation . . .
One of my neighbors is a huge Tennessee Volunteers fan – she lost her dad last week, and she loved my idea of this as an alternative to flowers . . .
The weather was delightful, so I took advantage and spent some time on the golf course next to the convention center – you’ll notice the Smoky Mountains in the distance. This was my best shot of the day – and after I took the picture, I even made the putt for a birdie! The 18th hole is right next to the building and parking lot – so when I noticed the Toomuchfun trailer next to the cart path, I veered off and took a pic to let Steve and Michelle know that I had arrived . . .
