Good morning sunshine! It looks like we are going to have the KOA campground almost to ourselves! 90% of the people were here for the eclipse yesterday. Sweet. That means we will be able to walk around with our doggies without creating a barkfest. Ha ha! Next-door to us yesterday were two Norwegian Elkhounds; and they were barkers! 

Site "I" ... 

Mark cooked us a fabulous breakfast of bacon and fried eggs with cheese. Robbie and BeeZee had an egg too! Yummy. That was the last of our Canadian eggs. 😋

Just as we were talking about where to go driving about, Mark stepped into a puddle by the sink. That's never a good sign! 

Well, I guess the 20 mile stretch coming in here did some damage; a plastic tap broke off the hot water heater shutoff under the kitchen sink. Mark says "No problem fixing it ... but we'll need to find a hardware store." 

Well it's a very interesting area. We'd like to visit in the fall when it's not 90F. There's lots to see and do. The Old Mill area is the original Pigeon Forge; neat. 

The waterwheel is to the right ...

That's the Little Pigeon Forge River. 

We were surprised to see it's an easy walk to the district from our KOA site. 

We expected the weather to be cooler ... but it's still 90 at 7 o'clock. Whew! 

There are attractions everywhere you look. 😎 Of course we spotted a Christmas store where I bought some red cardinal string lights! (It's 125 days til Xmas!) 🎅🏼 

We went to Texas Roadhouse for steak dinner ... it was just what we were in the mood for! 

Couldn't believe how hot it was when we came out of the restaurant ... still 90!  Mark bought some cigars and we plan to sit outside when it cools down around 9 o'clock. Tomorrow we head out to Perry Georgia for a night at Fair Harbor RV park. 

Sue, Wayne, Diane and Kris went to Dino's restaurant in Kenora to meet with Bob and Jill. Mark and I were there are many years ago, when Mom, Dad and Matt were with us! 

Randy is apparently home cutting the grass and fixing sprinklers while Dawn is at work until 8 o'clock. He's feeling better obviously! 

😳

Well that's the news for today. Ta Ta.
