With the first week of December almost over, it is amazing how fast the rest of the month will fly by.

Once, while heading for some snowskiing on Sugar Mountain in North Carolina, we were doing an overnighter in Gatlinburg.
As luck would have it, as we headed down from I-40 in the Knoxville area, a light snow began to fall. That’s the only time I have been in that area to see the white stuff coming down.

We are already planning a trip to Marietta, GA., the week before Christmas.
Maybe it will happen then and we can drive on up.
