Today is Sweet Shot Tuesday. This is hosted by Life With My 3 Boybarians. Be sure to check out all the other awesome blogs with great pictures that have linked up today. Truly some wonderful pictures being posted today.
My “sweet shot of the day” is this picture of the creek running through the Great Smokey National Park. It is just so peaceful to me. Hope you enjoy it!
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, started honoring all soldiers after World War I.
My children and I had the honor and privilege of seeing the Vietnam Moving Wall Memorial. It is something I will never forget. Seeing all the names on the wall, knowing that they gave their life so that other may have freedom. Thousands and thousands of names…knowing that more men and women have given their life in other wars. The feeling you get is just so overwhelming. Very hard to describe. A feeling though, that will never be forgotten.
And saying thank you, just doesn’t seem to be enough. However, it is the only thing I have to offer, other than a prayer for those still fighting the fight for our freedom and our country.
So, thank you to those in the past and present who have served the USA. We are able to live in a land of freedom thanks to you. May God bless you and your families.

I have had a wonderful Mother’s Day. We woke up early and Michael, my oldest cooked breakfast and we went to church. We had a wonderful church service that was dedicated to all the mothers. We then came home and had a great lunch cooked by my best friend, my husband, Buddy. The kids then set the table and cleaned up once we were finished.
After resting for a few minutes, Michael got a call asking him to come into work. We took him into work and then headed to one of my favorite places, the Blue Ridge Parkway. We road from Balsam Mountain up to Waterrock Knob to Cherokee taking pictures along the way. Once we made it to Cherokee, we then took a right and road into the Great Smoky Mountain Park. We road up to Newfound Gap and headed back home. The views God blessed us with today were absolutely gorgeous!!!
Below are a just a few of the many pictures we took. To see the rest of the pictures you can go here.
Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do! 🙂
