Cumberland Gal Cover Photo and Updates
Current Cover Photo is an especially scenic cascade along Parsons Branch Road in the Smokies.
Red cardinal flowers and pink joe pye weed surround it. Trip report pending from a Sunday drive on the Cades Cove Loop and Parsons Branch Road.
I also have trip reports pending from a day of four wheeling in Kentucky and one from Wind Rock.

Upcoming Plans
We will be going to Panama City Beach for Fall Break trip.
We have planned a train ride on the Hiwassee Scenic Railroad.
We are going to a new to us spot in Gatlinburg for our anniversary in November.
Health Concerns:
I developed asthma when I was in my thirties. Having this lung problem can lead to COPD in the future. I have been suffering with a cough for three months. I had my echocardiogram with contrast on Friday. It was 100% normal thank the Lord!
I am waiting for bloodwork results and chest CT scan results. I go for pulmonary function studies in a week , and a follow up with my pulmonologist to discuss results and next steps.
Our sweet Havana Brown kitty Bakoogan developed devastating seizures and had to be euthanized. I have done a lot of crying, but I know I did the right thing by her. Now comes the grieving.
Hearing from Readers of My Blog
I get emails or text messages from readers now and then. I always enjoy hearing from them. I've made some good friends. I've gotten ideas that have greatly improved Cumberland Gal. I am happy to help with directions to places. I answer all emails. You never know what we could come up with together! I welcome suggestions, corrections, and do my best to be helpful.
