It was 87 degrees on Saturday, October 18. That's lake weather. Except that the TVA starts lowering the water level in early September, so to save money on future boat repairs, most of us drag that sucker out on Labor Day weekend.

Anyone who knows me knows that I. Love. Sonic. Large Diet Coke, Extra Ice, and a Grilled Cheese - add pickles, add bacon. (If you haven't tried it, you should.)

There are a few things in life I have too many of. Shoes, of course. And baskets. And tote bags, for some strange reason. And, of course, candles. But I always rationalize my candle purchases by saying to myself, "I'll use these up so it's not like I… Read more
Is it really a family vacation if you don't play miniature golf? (Raise your hand if one of your kids smacked a stranger by hitting the ball waaay too hard.) You CANNOT visit us at the Inn without heading across the street to Maggie's Jungle Golf!&nb… Read more
Most days, I figure that EVERYONE knows about the Kentucky Opry. It's been around literally forever, and the Campbells have hosted hundreds of acts on their stage.
A few weeks ago, Brad and I went to see Sammy Kershaw perform there and it was such a … Read more
