This is the way people should be treated all year 'round... NOT with presents and surprises, but with love and attention. We all need encouragement and kindness from others.

Wouldn’t that be great! Where do you find your encouragement?

Wow Bro....! You are the man. That's how you are supposed to treat the queen of your life. I've been married 35 years and part of our success is keeping thing fresh and exciting.

Dude thats awesome! Congrats on 35 years!

We stayed in a resort back in the spring of this year in Seiverville. As we were unloading our luggage to take inside there was a black bear 75 yards away and I was so excited! I took a ton of pictures and was so happy with how they turned out (my camera batteries died while I was shooting). One of the best mini-vacations we've had as a couple. We plan on going back in 2023 and making it a family vacation when our son and daughter in law come down from Indiana to join our youngest son and my husband and I. It's going to be great!

LOL yes. The resort told us he frequents the area and he is not aggressive… but don’t touch him… You don’t have to worry about us trying to touch a bear lol

This is my FAVORITE VIDEO because we went to the Smoky Mountains 7 times before we saw our first BEAR! We drove, hiked, and biked Cades Cove several times, then on the 7th trip it finally happened! We shared in your excitement in this video! It brought back some wonderful memories for us. It was such a blessing that it happened a special occasion for y’all !

I'm new to your channel -- I am impressed with your candidness and I love that you are recording your JOurneYs without too much editing, so we feel like we are with you along the way - and not watching a pre-screened movie. I understand the many hours of work that goes into each feature (I have a degree in Biomedical Photography) and your video quality is "top-notch" and will only improve with all this practice. Keep finding the JOY in your journeys. Insiders note: I live on the NC side of the GSMNP and I have only hiked the Laurel Falls trail once. When I did -- I went another .5 miles past the falls...and it was like being on a totally different trail...no people...rougher terrain and continues uphill...but well worth it -- on that mountain are very old and huge "old-growth forest" trees. They are scattered near the trail, but accessible from this trail -- you can step just a few steps off the trail and be close to these giants. Big enough in diameter for four adults to holds hands for wrapping their arms around the trunks. I love thinking about how these trees were little saplings when our country was young circa 1800.

We LOVE feedback from our subscribers and the fact that you took the time to write this out (twice) means a lot to us :) Im not going to lie, I had to look up what Biomedical Photography is ;P The tip on the trail makes us wish we had gone a little further!
