.mountain bound.

We're packed and ready for our trip to the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. It's been a long day and I am so exhausted my bones ache and my eyes hurt. I'm prepared to collapse, but can't yet. We still have the drive to Kathy's brother's house before I can crash -- and even then, probably only an hour. I am hoping I survive this week with a shred of sanity, among other things. Anyway, I will attempt to keep a log of the trip and post again when I return. I bid you adieu until next weekend!
