IMG_5616One of the delights of life in the Smokies is that it attracts visitors. It’s a fun place to host a house party. But we really don’t have enough space in the house to sleep all the folks that want to come at one time. This time we aren’t the hosts for the upcoming party. It’s Greg and Rachel. But everyone will be arriving late at night. So kind people that we are, we are setting up the extra shelters. There’s a screen house in the side yard and a tent down at the Creekside deck. Rumor has it that the Creekside tent is so desirable that folks will be trading off on the opportunity to sleep with the sound of the creek in their ears.
