I think many of you believe that everything we do centers around our four grandchildren. However, here is an example of one of the other things we do. We look forward, each year, to our trip to Pigeon Forge with these dear friends. Ralph and I lived in Jacksonville, Florida from 1984-1988, and that is where we became close friends with Janet and Eddie(front) and Susie and Russ. We all had young teens then, and now we are all grandparents of the most wonderful children around. We rented a cabin in Pigeon Forge--and did a lot of "catching up". 
We ate at the Applewood Farmhouse Restuarant, and had this picture taken there.
The second night we were there, we went to a show. The music was great and they had a Christmas theme that really helped us get into the Christmas spirit! And, best of all, they sang a lot of Christian songs. Very inspiring!
Here are Janet and Eddie. They are both sweet Christians, and have meant so much to us through the years. I hope I've convinced Eddie to start a blog, himself. He expresses himself so beautifully and has so much to share that would mean a lot to so many!
And Heeeerrrreee's Susie and Russ! We actually knew them here in Atlanta, before we moved to Jacksonville. We ended up living a short distance from them in Florida, and our relationship just became much stronger. All of us were in the same church--and enjoyed that time in our lives so much.
We all like to play Mexican Train, so here we are, doing just that--on a rain day in the Smokies.
Thank you, God, for giving us such wonderful friends. Love to each of you!
