This is a TV. A TV in a bar. On a music night. The TV is OFF. What is so hard about this for so many other places?

Paradise!

Sara and Dave - both doing what they do, RIGHT!






Onward, once again...

Any good road-side asparagus??



This Red Winged Blackbird was perched atop a road sign out in the countryside.
He was a very cooperative subject - have about 8 shots of him...


I think he was telling me "OK - THIS IS ENOUGH ALREADY!!"

Mom's favorite fish fry stop!

What is a visit to Wisco without  Friday Night Fish Fry? No, Larry didn't eat ALL that....



From the back woods...
To the Capitol... 


At the Otis Redding Memorial which overlooks the  lake his plane went  down.....

The Jimmy's in Madison!











Next day...  went for a country drive that meandered through Amish country and other areas...

Check out the aero-plane wind-mill...






In honor of Charlie's father...

A friend's barn with quilt pattern...

Lot of history - and life - in this woman...

Ohio River through the bars of the railing as we drove over...




Way down upon the Sewanee.... Wait - wrong Suwannee....

 Almost to the B & B for the night... - highest point on the Mountain


Found it in the dark, took this pic the next morning




View from our 2nd floor balcony of the Smoky Mountains

View of the overhanging deck across the street  - on the edge of the mountain... 


Jacuzzi in the room... too bad we didn't use it...


View from NW corner of balcony right out from our bedroom french doors... really beautiful...
Same corner of balcony - first thing next morning with the 
low lying fog in the valley


Took this shot from the balcony across the street from the deck - he/she was watching me...




Side Hummingbird Porch



Work, work,work....

We had our photo taken out on the deck from up on the balcony across the street...






















Down the mountain we go...





Then we saw nothing in GA. Sorry GA. Next time....
