I spent the weekend in eastern Tennessee, at a little place tucked in the mountains called Cades Cove. What used to be a early pioneer settlement was turned into a national park. There are original structures along the way: cabins, churches, an old mill. We ran into different wildlife, and endless breath taking views.

I love Cades Cove. It’s on of my favorite places in the world. My wife and I were up there about a month ago.
I also wanted to let you know that I’m praying for your mom!
