When I go to my "Happy Place" I am always at the Little River in
Townsend, Tennessee, "The Peaceful Side Of the Smokies", as their
welcome sign reads. I have visited this river every summer since I was
born and it makes me... whole, calm, peaceful, closer to God, HAPPY! The
cabin we are staying in belonged to my Great Aunt Maurine and her
presence is felt everywhere here. Especially in the garden. Today I have
been raking leaves and trying to find some of the wildflowers that she
transplanted to this hillside. It bears noting that she didn't move here
until her late 70's so you when you see the pictures you will be
impressed with her physical abilities.

| This is the street side and is nice and flat.The back of the house has a large screened in porch that overlooks the river. |

| Plenty of rocking chairs for rockin' the day away. |

| This shows how steep the backyard gets. |
 |
| The far end of the porch has a swing and a daybed. |

Where is your "Happy Place"? It is my prayer that everyone has somewhere they can go to get away from it all. We all need a little piece of heaven here on earth! Thanks for visiting today!
