Went camping this weekend at a campground on the lake, had not been there for a few years. Once there I began to walk around looking at the different sites when I noticed a very old dog. He just lay t...

We got home about five this afternoon. We had a great trip and time went by too fast. Dan and Lori were a lot of fun and I was glad to see Anna and Sarah. Let me give you a word of caution about allowing a dog to ride in the front seat.
We were on our way to Cherokee and was about to enter Maggie Valley. The road was winding and it was slow going. We were about to enter a curve when Peaches pushed her head under my arm causing me to steer across the center lane. When I corrected back to the right the truck dropped off the pavement where there was no shoulder, just an abrupt drop of about a foot with soft mud and loose rock. I corrected again, but did not snatch the steering wheel but allowed the truck find its way back up on the pavement. The trailer took a hard lean toward the ditch, but I managed to keep control without over correcting and losing it. It was a very close call on a rain slick road that could have turned tragic. Peaches is now off limits to the front seat.
The leaves were beautiful and I will post some pictures tomorrow when things settle down. This will finish our camping for a while as we take care of other things that are pressing. Sue and I have some big decisions to make that will change a lot of things for us. I hope we have the wisdom to make the right ones and that we will be able to live out the rest of our lives without worry and stress. Sue has an opportunity to expand her business and it will leave us more time to do what we want to do, but it may mean moving to South Carolina.
Anyway, we will be praying that God's will is done and if that is what He wants for us that we will be ready to follow His lead. Okay I have to go for now, talk with you tomorrow.
