Pigeon Forge, TN

We went to Pigeon Forge, TN, thinking we would go to Dolly wood   The joke was on us.  They are closed until March.  We did go to some really good shows while there, however.  The Hatfields' & McCoys' and Comedy Barn.  We truly enjoyed ourselves.  There was a store there that was Stages West.  We just had to check it out.  It had some pretty neat stuff in it.  And of course the Happy Days diner.  What can I say!  We also went to the Bush Bean factory.  We did not get to meet Jake the talking dog, personally, so obviously we did not get the secret recipe.  We did a get a picture taken with him, however.  We did get to see some of his movies.  They serve a very good lunch at their factory, that is for sure.  Tom got a pretty good picture of the flying pig.  We are now in Lexington.  It is colder here than it is Cheney-town.  16 above.  If we were not going to see our son in Elizabethtown, we would definitely not be this far north.  Tom keeps talking about doing some sightseeing in Lexington, but somehow I just cannot get excited about going out in 16 degree weather to seeing anything.  Talk to you soon.  Patty & Tom
