Thanksgiving week in Gatlinburg

Well this is the 1st time I had the opportunity to sit at my computer for any length of time.  Monday and Tuesday I was at the church wrapping Christmas presents for the needy children in the community.  Every 1st Wednesday I volunteer for the Clean of Hearts which is a catholic charities ministry that runs a laundry and shower service for the homeless. It was very rewarding helping the homeless out by washing and folding their laundry for them while they take a shower.

I had a great time Thanksgiving week spending time with my son John's family in Gatlinburg.  Here are some pictures of our trip, I would of taken more but I forgot to bring the charger for my camera.  We went to the Ripley's believe it or not aquarium which was awesome. I never went on my own excursions because I was afraid to drive up and down the mountain, so I just hung out with the family.  I was so glad to get off the mountain and get back on I 40.
