That's funny, Abbi, my family and I were in Gatlinburg, TN and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park over Labor Day weekend too.
It was so beautiful, wasn't it? We hiked on the Appalachian Trail for a few hours too.

I love this! What great memories.
Your word pictures are wonderful! It's amazing you can say so much with so few words. But you're good that way!
I was Sad to see Audra saying Good-bye to blogging. Please Jessi and Abbi, I love reading about your lives and would not know anything without. you will have to keep us posted on Audra when you can. Don't EVER think of giving it up. It's your legacy in print.
