Happy New Year from Townsend, Tennessee!
I hope you all have had a safe and festive new year so far. It has been pretty chilly at home and up here as well. We know that bears are supposed to hibernate in the winter (December is winter to me) but we saw a HUGE bear up in a tree in Cade's Cove. I couldn't help but laugh at the way he was positioned.
We have enjoyed our time away just to relax and unwind, especially since everyone is finally well. I sure missed meeting up with my best friend Julie, but I hope to get to go see her at some point soon!
We had a wonderful Christmas service at Enon Baptist Church and will be visiting one of our favorite churches in Townsend at Bethel Baptist Church for New Year's.
Condolences to the families of Denise Pittman, Keitha Burris, and Stephanie Hennessy.
Happy birthday to Christy Gilly Kent, Mandy Fussell, Jill Jons, Jackie Epps Wild, Tonya Sharp, Clint Casanova, Megan Pace , my amazing sister-in-law Natalie Sharp, Ashley Royerre Talley, Thomas Mitchell, and Melanie Thigpen.
Congratulations to Ernesto and Haley Branton Woods on the birth of their son, Korbyn. His Titi is one of our amazing Reading Paras, Tiffany Modlin at Enon Elementary School.
Congratulations to Leo Gorgoglione for winning the Christmas gift card from the Enon Library. Thank you to Mrs. Winola and Mrs. Marian for being such amazing librarians and always helping us find the answers to our questions!
