Planned Events:
Driving in and around the Great Smoky Mountains with planned drives on Friday

This sounds wonderful and Lucy and I would love to attend.  There is only one little problem:  We will be on a Viking river cruise down the Danube that week.

Stuck here with Kathy's soon to be 97 year old mom.  She isn't doing well.  If something changes I'll advise.  Thanks to the team that is stepping up.
