Bears, Oh My, :) food looked wonderful, I was leaning toward the ribeye and baked potato plus cheese cake, , I also thought what about a platter of each type of food. Yum. OK< once again I enjoyed every moment of being with you. Pricey but same as the Peddler in cost. My husband and I were talking today on how the prices have increased so much to eat out in Gatlinburg. We could both get a ribeye plus potato and dessert for around $50 17 years ago. Wow !! Have you eaten at Calhoun's lately? We use to eat there often, great food back when. Take care and may God bless and keep you.

The bears was a great surprise during dinner. Yes, prices keep going up! We did a review of Calhoun's recently it's in our library. God bless!

Those are pretty purple daffodils ( iris’s), lol. Food looked yummy, you missed your opportunity when he was out taking pics of the bears, could’ve cut that cheesecake in half, he would have never known, next time you go, yell bear and when he is gone eat the crust off and tell him, they now serve crust less cheesecake, lol.👍🏻👍🏻You are such a sweet couple, always enjoy your vlogs. Always make us smile😀

Pulled pork plate and cheeseburger with twisted fries were delicious. Highly recommend! We were also entertained by a bear in the parking lot!
