We participated this morning in the celebration of Mass at St Patrick’s in Morristown and afterwards engaged in a most welcoming conversation with Marlene. It wasn’t long before she was suggesting we move to the area and join the parish! Then on the way back to the park we stopped to refuel and get a snack and had another welcoming kind of experience that even included free coffee. Not the first time we’ve had these kind of experiences in East Tennessee!

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation.

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
