On Sunday, Oct 14 we all got together at Diane's in Sevierville. Both of Diane's sons (David from Cartersville, GA and Doug from Tallahassee, FL along with their families) were visiting. After numerous phone calls, Diane was almost sure that all of Mother's Great-Grandchildren would be there. Ralph and I had just gotten back from New England and Nova Scotia, with Mac and Rita returning from Hawaii. We didn't tell Mother until Saturday that we were going to take her up there as she sometimes gets dizzy and nauseous when she rides... but we knew she would be more miserable at the nursing home if she knew we were getting together without her. All worked well... she did not get sick but was tired when we got back around 7:30 p.m. and went straight to bed. All of her children (and spouses) were there and all grandchildren except Jim (who had to work) and Kendal (who had a diving class). All eleven great-grandchildren were there and this was the first time she had met Great Granddaughter, Emma McFarland. We got several Emma pictures (Emma McCarter, Emma Capps, and Emma McFarland). Diane had 38 for dinner and with Bob's help at the grill everything was delicious. Wink (our NJ cousin) and his wife, Jane McCarter, also joined us as they were in Sevierville and had met Alan at Dollywood. He gave them a tour of the Eagle Rescue Area at Dollywood as he, Kendal and Jacob have been volunteering up there for several years. Wink and Jane were on their way to Oklahoma to visit their son, Aaron. Click on the photo link for my pictures. I find it better to view them as a slide show in fast mode. And if you click on the i in the middle of the picture, you can see my comments. Enjoy!!! (PHOTOS)
