I took a church group of "Primetimers" to the Cumberland county playhouse to see a play on Buddy Holly back in Sept. of this year after eating at the lodge at Cumberland Mountain State Park. After the play, we stopped for about an hour at Buc-ees and had a great time. Thanks for the vids and keep them coming.

Harold and I have been to that Buc-ees. It was crazy, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I liked Karen’s ornaments for the grandkids. I will have to get some. We are coming up to Gatlinburg September 4-8. If it is close to lunch we will stop by for a barbecue sandwich. I can lean on the basket as a result of my sciatica in left leg 🦵. Keep praying for healing of sciatica please. I am going to physical therapy for it. We are going to some of the places you suggested. We are wanting a nice camper like you have. Harold bought a camper you pull but I don’t think our SUVS will pull. Hope Mike is doing well. God bless. Gail Taylor
