We arrived home, and I immediately went to bed. The next morning I took “Tommy and Otis” for a well-deserved ride in the truck. Out in the Country, you never know what you’ll see.I’ve seen everything from Pigs that have gotten out of their pen to Horses. Yesterday, I saw the latter. I was driving…

A foggy morning in the Great Smoky Mountains. I can’t even see Mt. LeConte, which stands right before the Cabin. A shadow of the Tram can be seen as it passes by overhead.Birds Chirp.Chipmunks chase each other around on the ground.Squirrels chase each other up in the trees.However, I haven’t seen a Bear in days.…

The day began as usual.As of late, my Spina Bifida nerve pain has been extremely painful in the mornings. Maybe it’s the changing of the Season. I took “The Dawgs,” “Tommy,” and “Otis” for a nice drive this morning. For the day, I have a trip to the family cemetery planned.Me, Mom, and two of…

I’ve just sat down after a long day.A good day, yes, but long. I streamed “Murder She Wrote” on my TV, and “Mrs. Jessica Fletcher” is still solving murders and writing books. I did my laundry. I still have a load in the dryer.On my bed, crumpled up in one big pile, are my white…

Sunday School Fish Fry

I got invited to a Sunday School Class Fish Fry. I’m friends with several people in that Sunday School Class, and they know about my Spina Bifida, so I knew I would feel comfortable being with them. And I love fried fish.Not Baked. Not Broiled. Deep Fried. With Hushpuppies and French Fries that got Deep…

A foggy early morning on the mountain. I get in my truck to take a ride.It’s five am-ish. Still dark out. We live at the top of the mountain, and it’s foggy.The lower on the mountain I drive, the thicker the fog. I reach the bottom. Driving about 25 mph., headlights on dim, a duck…

Finding Otis

“Otis.” I decided on “Otis.” I got up a little after 4:30 am today. With my Spinal Cord doing its usual thing and shocking the fire out of me, I decided to go for a drive and maybe grab a drink at the gas station.I decided to let “Tommy the Dawg” sleep and go by…

Tommy The Dawg

“Tommy the Dawg” is so dang smart. I’ve driven all over this mountain with him at my side, and in the beginning, I would say the words, “Hold On” when going into a curve or making a turn, and he learned to “hold on.” He did this by taking his head out of the window,…
