Gatlinburg TN
Until Thursday, there were six rigs in this campground. All of us were full-timers, with Kelly and me being the only non- workers. Now, the place is full to capacity. There are kids on bicycles, parents on Harleys, and folks just sitting around campfires. Apparently, some families come here every year for the Memorial Day weekend. There was a lot of catching up for them to do. There was a group of Polish youths on a tent site and most of the cabins were full. What surprised me was the quiet, well except for the Harleys. Some folks were drinking, but there has been no rowdiness or fighting. Except for the Polish kids singing folk songs, everyone turned in early last night.
We started the day at the farm market. This week, we bought some brownies, comfrey salve, and an heirloom cherry tomato plant. That scraggly little thing is a symbol of hope and an investment in the future.
A while back, Kelly lined the bunks with sheets of vinyl linoleum to protect their surfaces and make it easier to slide boxes back and forth. Today, she made a template of the shelf under the sink and lined it, too. It looks really good and now the “natural wood grain finish” will be protected from spills and scrapes. She’s so pleased with her work that she’s decided to line the shelf under the bathroom sink, too. But, not today.
Kelly planted her garden today. She had purchased basil, parsley, and oregano plants last week and had been hardening them off under our awning. We had to keep them off the ground to protect them from peeing dogs. Today, she planted all three in a window box. As you can see from this photo, she’s planning on a bumper crop.
