How was your Independance Day holiday!?
I had a great weekend!
I went with my sister and her husband and daughter to East Tennessee for my cousin's annual 4th of July cookout. I got to meet his first two grandsons for the first time. I didn't get to see him though because he was delivering a car to the West Coast.
But we visited with his wife and sons and his wife's family from (guess where?)
INDIANA!
I was disappointed in one thing, though, here I was boasting about the area I was in being very conservative Republican and all that. and I was really looking forward to "escaping" liberals and Bush haters for a while>
Only to run into them in Knoxville of all places!
I think I'll never get away from DEMOCRATS!
Oh! Well!
I still wore my Bush pin and everyone better beware 'cause this is WAR! LOL!
But to leave off with the whining like a liberal
I wanna tell you that it was a wonderful trip as we drove from Baltimore to Jonesborough (took us about 11 hours)
My back suffered from the long drive, but it was worth it!
All the time I was thinking what a beautiful country we live in and what a pity that not enough folks take time out to see it and drink in the magnificants and the splender of God's creating beauty.
The mountiand and the farmlands and the over all peacefulness of the place makes you relax and wonder why you are so worried and tense about anything.
I beleave God resides in those mountians and the countryside of Virginia, West Virginia, Southwestern Maryland and East Tennessee!
And the folks in Greeneville and Knoxville as well as Johnson City in Tennessee as well as those we met in Virginia are just about the most hospitable and wonderful folks you ever hope to meet. Kinda made going back to Baltimore such a downer!
I really enjoyed it there!
I spent the weekend and a bit of yesterday without internet connection..
:-(
Hey, Pippin. Welcome back ! :^D
Isn't that the truth?! I didn't get to see your beautiful Maryland on this trip, (I grew up there, so I know it IS beautiful), but our drive through Virginia and North and South Carolina was some of the prettiest country I have ever seen!
I think I'll never get away from DEMOCRATS!
Like a recurring nightmare isn't it?
But all in all, sounds like you had a wonderful 4th of July holiday. Thanks for sharing it with us. (((((((((pippin)))))))))
Hey Pippin, your trip sounds delicious. I wish that I could have been with you! Did you get any of the Grits?
Your trip sounded wonderful Pip. I've been to Jonesborough and it's a pretty little historic town. Did you know that it's the oldest town in Tennessee?
