Century 21 Mid State Christmas Party


This year we were invited { Lyons Valley Termite and Pest Control }to Century 21 Mid State Realty's Christmas party held in Tullahoma. As you will be able to see in the pictures , we were told to dress in the 50's style.


I elected to wear a blond wig , sunglasses, leather black jacket, black jeans, white socks with black shoes. Upon entering the building I was met by the owners of Century 21 , Mr. & Mrs. John and Pam Peck who didn't have a clue who I was and thats the way it went for the rest of the evening with everyone else I met. Center picture above from left to right is Pam , John , myself and Nancy. On the right is Mr. & Mrs. James Walton who just happened to shut there eyes at the same time when this was taken.


We really enjoyed our time with all of the different agents from the four different offices. Some of our time was spent on the dance floor which I haven't done in over 10 years. Now I'm paying for the fun as in sore legs and a very tender back but I now know how to train for my next backpacking adventure. Those Gal's from the Monteagle office really know how to GET ER DONE as they danced non stop into the night. Best advice I could give you is to NOT mess with them mountain ladies !

Check out Moonlights head gear , LOL
UNO { JR } and I { Moonlight } were the first persons in the PECKS CORNER SHELTER and were able to have a choice of where we wanted to put our sleeping gear for the night and while we were doing that in walked RAMBO RON. Rambow is a thru hiker who starter at the northern end of the A.T. and had been on the trail for one whole year carrying a 70 pound backpack. He had a full shaggy beard and didn't look to weigh more than 90 pounds soaking wet himself , LOL. UNO and I felt lucky to have been able to meet him and hear all his stories about his experiences . He had wanted to do this hike for 20 years. He had sold his house in Indiana and everything he owned . Didn't have a clue about backpacking and just headed out ! He is 57 years old and calls the wilderness his home. There is so much more I could write about him but don't have the space to do that here.

COSBY SHELTER

At the Cosby shelter we met Rob Carter and his son who were doing trail work. UNO played UNO {cards} with them for hours on this night. The REI group arrived 3.5 hours after we did and I just relaxed and watched them scurry around unpacking and fixing there meals. Mice as always is a real problem in this shelter and I had to laugh at the way the three wemon were reacting to that problem.

GOOD STUFF !!

UNO going for 33 more miles

This weekend JR is heading back to the Smoky Mountains 7-13-07 to start hiking at Newfound Gap doing 33 miles to Fontana Dam in North Carolina to finish the entire Nalt. Parks A.T. I have scanned graphs of elevation changes for that hike for him and he seems ready to head out. Some of the sights he will see are first Clingmans Dome , the highest point in the park , then Silers Bald followed by THUNDERHEAD MOUNTAIN. If he has good weather then he will see some sights I wasn't able to view when I last hiked that area. There are two shelters he will have to keep eyes in the back of his head as the park has posted warning signs about high Bear activity , some resulting in serious injurys and a few deaths over the years. We pray that Angels of protection be with him on his journey.

Our Business has moved from 410 S. Polk St.

UNO makes it back from The SMOKY"S

Recieved a call last week on sunday from JR and he told me all about his backpacking trip from Newfound Gap to Fontana Dam. He ran into two different Bears this time and was a little shaken up about the second one , saying you wouldn't believe how big the head of that Bear was ! He did experience rain most of the first day going up to Clingmans Dome and had some water problems { finding water } and when he did there wasn't much of it. He did say that that section of the A.T. was much harder than the one he and I did together and that he was beat up from the hike but was up beat about his experience. Happy your home and safe JR.
