Since the first day of our vacation (Saturday) was spent in driving down to Tennessee, I won't bore you with those details. I did a post on the cabin. Check that out below. Sunday morning, we drove about an hour to the Maryville Pilgrim Holiness Church. We gave ourselves plenty of time to get there. We didn't want to get there late in case we got lost. We had no trouble at all finding the church, and were greeted warmly by Brother and Sister Walden and the congregation there at Maryville. We enjoyed a great service, then made our way back to the cabin to change clothes and have lunch before going to Cades Cove for the afternoon. Well, we got a little stuck in the driveway at the cabin. Stuck as in one wheel was no longer on the road. We had to have a wrecker come and pull the car out. We finally made our way to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We took the scenic route there. We really liked Cades Cove. I know some people think it is over-rated, but we...
Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping.

I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works! I bought these two large candles. ...
A couple of weeks ago, Carl and I went to the Indianapolis Zoo. We had not been in a few years, so it was nice to visit the place again. Plus, the zoo was putting the new baby elephant was out in the exhibit for a few hours every day that starting that week. That little elephant was so stinkin' cute! See? We watched the sweet little thing for quite a while. There were lots of other people watching the elephants too...along with some other zoo creatures. The cheetahs were next to the elephants. Boy, were they eyeing that little baby. First it was just one of the cheetahs staring at the elephant. Then all 3 were watching its' every move. Then, they all walked over to the fence separating their area from the elephants' area. Finally, the momma and baby moved out of sight of the cheetahs. We also enjoyed the new tiger exhibit. I love tigers, so I was especially excited to see this. The tigers now are really close to you. There is only thick glass between you and the ti...
