The Smokies were a great retreat during this pandemic. Few people were in the mountains where we secluded ourselves. Fly fishing all day and enjoying the Mountain View’s and refreshing air, while listening to the streams rushing over the protruding boulders.

The scenery was amazing as I watched my retired groom share his fly fishing knowledge and techniques with his daughter and grandson. Memories that will live with them forever.

The food my daughter brought with her, filled the cabin pantry for the culinary dinners, desserts, picnics and sandwiches she prepared. We all devoured in amazement and satisfied each appetite.

The pandemic is a scarey situation. Yet, we were able to stay safe, create memories, keeping our grandsons uplifted while enjoying and in awe of God’s great gifts!
