The Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Insane by Nancy L. Eady

This past weekend, my husband, daughter and I took a quick trip to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (Tennessee side).  When we go at this time of year, we are hoping to see the leaves fully turned, but alas, this year, we were either too early or the leaves decided not to put on their annual show.  Still, I took some pictures. 

 First, the good: 


This picture was taken at Newfound Gap, which is in the park where the Tennessee and North Carolina state lines meet.

 Second, the bad:

Besides the fact that trees are involved, I have no idea where, at what angle or why I took this picture. 

The ugly is not a picture, but the reason for a change to our routine.  We normally follow the road through the park over Newfound Gap into Cherokee, North Carolina, but not this trip.  Why?  We heard Cherokee had been hard hit by Hurricane Helene, and we didn’t think a trio of tourists trekking around a disaster zone would help anyone. 

 And last the insane: 

Meet Penny and Max on their way home from the kennel on Monday.

And here are Daisy, Penny in the back and part of Max’s body on the same ride.

Have a great third Friday of the month everyone!
