My “not so black” Friday!

December 1, 2008 by janicemaynard

Hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving. We were in Chattanooga at my sister’s house. We were missing my nephew and his new bride… they were in Orlando with her family. My older daughter and her crew weren’t there as well, because she had to work. News doesn’t take a day off. 😦 But it was a great meal, nevertheless.

Friday we headed north with our younger daughter and her hubby. Caroline (the older one) had Friday off, so the eight of us rendezvouzed in Pigeon Forge along with our son-in-law’s sister.

This you should know about me – I absolutely love to get a great shopping bargain. But nothing, I repeat – nothing (shopping related) can coax me out of bed at the crack of dawn. I love to sleep more than I love to shop. 🙂

So – without retail therapy on the calendar for Friday, the nine of us headed for Dollywood. Charles was given four tickets back in April that we had never used, and our son-in-law’s dad works at the big “D” in the summer, so we were covered in the pass department.

The weather was perfect, chilly, but not too cold. The crowds were maneagable… and the Dollywood folk were charming and friendly. As one guy said to us, “how can you not have a good day with smiles like that?” (He was looking at Ainsley.)

We rode the ferris wheel, the cups and saucers, the scrambler, the carousel, the flying elephants, and best of all, the big train that goes all around the park. The little ones behaved beautifully, and it was a really fun day all the way around.

So, my Friday was a success, but I still have to take care of my shopping list. That’s okay – I know I have 24 more days to go!

Hope your Monday is smooth sailing !

    What fun! I’ve only been once but would love to go again. I’m a big Dolly fan and really enjoyed her museum there.

    Lovely family!
