Thanksgiving in Maggie Valley, North Carolina

We left Memphis about 7:30pm and decided since we had lost a day due to these repairs we would drive for a few hours. We arrived at the Flying J near Nashville about 3 or 4 hours later and slept until morning. We had breakfast there, and then headed for our friends home in Maggie Valley. The main highway through the smoky mountains was closed, due to a bad rock slide, so we had to go around the mountain about 100 miles further.

We finely made it there about 7pm, when we got all hooked up in the RV park, we went over to Rhonda and Bill's for pizza and salad. Rhonda's Mom and Brother, Andy live in Charlotte and drove up for Thanksgiving and when they got there on Wednesday and the three guys played golf. The next day was Thanksgiving Day and what a great dinner, with great people. Rhonda is a wonderful cook, and everyone ate too much, just like we are supposed to on holidays.

They have a fantastic log home and we love it there. Their beautiful daughters Alysia and Allison are a joy to be around, they are both so talented and fun to be with, just like their parents.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year, and we have a lot to be thankful for, we are living the life that we both love. We have great friends all over the USA and we meet new people all the time and make new friends. Our children and our grandchildren are all happy and healthy, all of our other family members are also. We actually get to see more of our family and friends now than we did before. Yes we have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
