The Smoky Mountains are an important part of live here in eastern Tennessee. The national park brings in lots of tourists and is important to the economy.
But Betsy and I tend to avoid tourists whenever possible. We often go to the eastern side of the Smokies. One of our favorite areas is around Cosby, Tennessee. We’ve been there several times. The pictures in the collage above were taken on a visit to Cosby in March of last year.

I’m happy to report that Betsy is getting along pretty well after her knee surgery. She had some problems with her pain medicine over the weekend, but she’s doing better now. She’s able to walk short distances without any pain, which we consider progress.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

We don’t usually visit that side of the Smokies much but probably should. I know we’d see some beautiful areas if we did. Glad Betsy is doing better today.

Love the Smokies too. We don’t mind avoiding the tourists ourselves, haha. Glad to read the good report on your precious Betsy.

Nice collage George. I don’t like to be around a lot of
people when we go to ‘get away’ either.
Good to hear Betsy is doing well.

Great place to be, but often we have to share these lovely places with other tourists too. 🙂
