I spent a really great day with the most welcoming, friendly, kind and warm people today – Linda and Don. The were so kind to me, collecting me and then taking me on a really lovely driving tour out through Knoxville up to the Smokies. We had a lovely lunch together and even did some shopping, we finished it off with a snack and a pint in my Brother’s bar in Turkey Creek.
For me the day was filled with great chat and laughter, I had to two best tour guides who were very knowledgeable about their home area – it’s a day I will cherish. Don did so much driving, I’m sure he must be worn out, Linda and Don really are "Southern Hospitality" personified. I also going home laden down with gifts for me and my family.
Here’s a pic of me and Linda:
Another highlight of the day was getting to speak to Nancy on the phone, another lovely warm person, it was a pleasure and delight – Nancy also managed to smuggle a lovely gift in with the travelling duck(s), thank you Nancy, it’s just perfect.
Today is a day I will always remember with great fondness. The friends I have met and spoken to today, this is the forums brought to life.
Night y’all (I’m learning how to talk southern ;))
