How’s that for a view? Good evening, everyone. It’s about 7:30, and I just got back from dinner to my hotel room in Sevierville, Tennessee. Because I’m a loyal rewards member, I got a free upgrade…which means this view for the evening. I’m not going to the Smokies this time around, but I can sit here and admire them until the sun goes down!! I’ll tell you about my exciting history lesson today a little later on. Meanwhile, enjoy the view…and I only wish you could smell the comfortable, fresh air out here.

I have to get away from the Smokies before afternoon because the weekend crowds will be piling in.

@MarieCoyle — one GREAT thing about being retired is I can go down on a Sunday afternoon and stay until Wednesday and generally have the place to myself.

Is that my house? Don't be telling people where I live? People don't know how to joke anymore,, but I get the feeling you understand, so stop shooting my house.

Cumberland Gap, most likely. It depends on the weather.

That's a great view. The air is wonderful here especially after the rain we had this afternoon.

It rained while I was eating dinner. It felt so good when I went outside!

It might make me sneeze. My allergies have been a pain lately.

That is indeed a lovely view. I'd be happy to sit and look at it for a while.

That’s what I did yesterday evening…took a walk down to the river and just admired it, then came back and watched the sun set from the parking lot (my balcony faces south, so I couldn’t see that). Then I got to see the lightning in the distance when a thundershower went over the mountains. I was one happy camper.

@FourWalls You don't always need to pay money to see a good show.
