And I Already Miss You Kimsy ~

A good life is a collection of happy moments...

 Arvid and I move around more than anyone I know.

  A friend of mine once said to me, "I write your address down

 in pencil because I never know when it will change."

  We seem to never stay put in any place for long.

I was/am loving being in Puerto Rico.  We are happy

 happy here.  Life is good and we have what we need

 and I am close to my sister and Kimsy. 

 We even see J more than we did when in Florida, 

and he lives in Miami. I am never sad to leave anyplace.

 That is with the exception of Branson.  That place

 grew on me and it holds a very special place in 

my heart.  The people are all heart.

Now we probably will soon leave Puerto Rico.  

I can feel it.  I know once Arvid landed in Florida he will 

be on overdrive, and when he comes back home to Puerto Rico 

it will be soon time for us to leave. Florida is home,

 but Puerto Rico has my heart right now. 

 I am going to miss my sister and Kimsy so very much.

  I did not think it was going to be so hard to leave.  

I think I will miss Kimsy the most.  She has stolen 

my heart even more with her gentle ways.

 She is a beautiful person inside and out.  Both Arvid

 and I love her to pieces.  Arvid talks about her and how kind,

 calm and easy going she is.  She is also loving and humble.

  Kimsy I am missing you so much already. I love you.

So happy that I spent time with them the other day after

 dropping Arvid off at the airport. We had a little breakfast out, 

and then spent time at their home.  I loved it so very much.  

Kimsy.  I am already missing you.  Looking forward 

to seeing you all soon again.  Like tomorrow.

Here's to the moments when you realize

 simple things are wonderful and enough...

Pigeon Forge....A New Experience

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost,

to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience...

Pigeon Forge, a mountain town and vacation area in eastern Tennessee, is the home

 of Dollywood, entertainer Dolly Parton’s Appalachian-themed park consisting

 of rides, an adjoining water park and a museum of her costumes and

 memorabilia.  The city’s other family-friendly attractions include country 

music revues, magic shows, dinner theaters and outlet malls.

The best-kept secret of the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee is how awesome 

Dollywood is! Whether you are old or young, into Dolly Parton or not, into roller coasters,

 bluegrass music, history, wildlife preservation, trains, water slides or old timey craftsmanship, 

this park has got something for you. Contrary to popular belief, you DON’T need to 

be a Dolly Parton fanatic in order to have a great time here! But if you have any bit 

of affection for the woman, it is likely to increase ten fold by the time you leave.

For the rest of the day we will be exploring and discovering more about Pigeon Forge.

Always interesting to see new places and to experience new things.  Time to go and do some 

more discovering.  Having a wonderful time with my parents.  Nothing else really matters.

To all a very good day.  Remember never be afraid to try something new, because

 life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know.

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back

 to its old dimensions.  Experience is the teacher of all things...
