Same stretch of shops as well (image of Cherokee, N.C. from the 1950's)
Spent the weekend in NC & Tenn. mountains.... even got to go to the casino !!
the only thing bought to bring back were a few rocks (one a colorful purple and green crystals in a geode )..... as well a a quartz point ... was stuck in traffic for over an hour and a half to reach Gatlinburg, Tenn.... a long trip.....Some wonderful views of the mountains.... and the river that wound down the mountain into Maggie Valley .... paid homage to where Mom's ashes were scattered...
released 3 balloons and tossed a few long-stemmed flowers over the side of the look-out point...
This is how my brother and Sister have payed tribute to Mom every year for her birthday (Nov. 26th).
Sounds like you had a good time with your family, and what a lovely way to remember your mother.
ReplyDeleteTake care, and greetings from the other side of The Pond!
Glad you got away on a little trip, that's nice. And a nice annual tribute to your Mom too.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your kind words...
ReplyDeleteMy first time going with them... and more calls to doctors to be made tomorrow...
