The Friday after Thanksgiving me and Terry took a road trip up to Byrdstown, TN to spend some time with one of our closest and dearest friends. Randy was diagnosed with cancer this past summer. He is doing great, was in good spirits and has a positive attitude. Randy has a great sense of humor and kept us laughing the entire time we were there. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. So glad we got to spend time with him and enjoy the beauty of Pickett County.

Take Me Home Country Roads

Country road in Smith county.

Rural Smith county countryside. Gorgeous! Wish I owned a slice of
that!

Countryside

I took this picture back in October of last year on one of our road trips.

I took this picture on "Happy Valley" road in the Buffalo Valley
community. Old barn, dry creek bed and country road :0) I
love rural Tennessee!

One of the many pretty backroads in the
Buffalo Valley area of Smith County.

Saturday Hike

Me and T went on a roadtrip out in the country this past Saturday.
It was a gorgeous day to go out and explore. While driving on a
back road we found this old gate. The sign on top says Center Hill
Lake.


We found a trail and started walking to see where it would take
us. After walking a long distance, we finally ended up at the back
waters of Center Hill Lake. You can see the little boat dock in the
upper left of the picture. We also saw a man and two kids enjoying
a day of fishing. I bet they were wondering where we came
from :0)




The view looking back toward the trail. It was a fun day and an
enjoyable hike. It was also fun discovering a place we had never
been before. I hated to see the day end.

Out In The Country

Whenever I need to leave it all behind ... or feel the need
to get away


I find a quite place...


far from the human race ...


Out in the country!
