Mamaw, Papa, and Uncle Mark Piller visited for a few days this week. Uncle Mark is allergic to cats, we have a cat and a bunny in the house, so Mark spent a good bit of time outside. Here's a picture of him relaxing with super pup and Papa. Mark also made friends with Peanut.
They stayed in South Harriman at the Holiday Inn Express and enjoyed the accomodations, indoor pool, 7 miles from our farm, right next to a Cracker Barrel, McDonalds, etc.
The visit began with the annual outdoor homecoming mass and picnic at Blessed Sacrament church. Father Sweeney guaranteed excellent weather and he delivered on that promise. We had a Bonfire one evening at the farm, swimming at the hotel, a quilting and sewing outing, a trip to the Lost Sea Cavern, a trip to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, hike up to Clingman's Dome (highest point in Tennessee, elevation 6600+ ft), a trip to Cherokee NC for some serious gem mining (several emeralds, rubies, sapphires, etc), some good meals and just hanging out together at the farm (you should see Mamaw and Papa playing dodge ball!). The time passed much too quickly!
