Family Reunion in Tennessee

On May 5th through the 10th, Mel and I joined his brothers and sisters and their spouses for a family reunion in Pigeon Forge, TN. One brother, Leroy, from Washington state didn't make it but eight siblings gathered plus six spouses for a total of 14. Mel was able to have an outing with the guys several days while some of us ladies went shopping. One day we went to play minature golf and Mel and his sister, Corann, watched us from a bench nearby. Another day when Mel went with his brother-in-law, Jim B, and a couple of brothers and a sister-in-law he was able to wheel his chair around the course and actually "putted" a couple of golf balls. Another day he went along with Jim and some of the others to a tool store and also to a knife store. All of us took a tour of beautiful Cades Cove. Here's a few pictures from our trip:

Finally got a chance to look at your blog. Hope it's ok if I link you - I learned that having people bookmarked is ok until someone steals your laptop! It's easier to be blog-linked. Looks like a nice trip to TN. I loved seeing Mel's little smile. Enjoy your incoming visitors! Wish our paths could cross when we come to VA but probably not this time.
