We Made SAUSAGE GRAVY by the Creek in THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS ! (Gatlinburg)

[@billthomas6296]

Excellent words of wisdom. I am in my 60's and a new grandfather, finally. Anyway I live here in East Tennessee and they live in Colorado. Speaking of time, I know I won't have the time with my grandson like I could have if he were living close by. I just pray that I am able to get the time to have with him and my son and daughter in law in the coming months and years. You both are wonderful and so inspirational to me and I am sure to others. God Bless you both. My Christian love to you my dear brother and sister. And please pray for me that I get the ability to see my family. Thank you.

My husband and I have been going for 13 years and my in laws with us. We did lose one in law in 2019. Sure miss here being with us.

A beautiful place! Your videos here have brought a smile to my face! I lost my Mom a couple weeks ago to Alzheimer’s and cancer. You’re right, time is so precious! Indiana weather has us inside with single digit temperatures. I can’t wait until we’re able to get back out and about again! Your videos really do help the winter blues! Thank you! 😊

We tent camped at Roamstead a couple of times just this past year. I told Carol at the front desk we found out about the campground as a result of Friday’s Forever. Because of your first review, it has become our #1 camping spot in the Smokies. Funny you mentioned NOC - we were just there a few days ago before the winter storm hit. Anyhow, thanks for all you guys do. God bless!!

That is awesome! God bless

There is nothing like nature's music. I am going to try to find some of the sausage like you had. I had watched several people cook it and it looks so good. I enjoy your videos so much, you are both such an amazing couple. I bet the campsite is really beautiful with the snow. I love the stream at your campsite. I love nature's music especially in the morning. I was really being good and walking every day but it has got too cold now, I know that is no excuse, it just now got cold. LOL Thank you for sharing your videos. I want a hot dog with good chili now since I saw yours. lol

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! We booked 43D in the middle of June because of you! The site looks wonderful! Just something to think about next time you make chili instead of putting sugar in your chili add a little ketchup that gives it a sweet taste.

Hope you enjoy it!

I actually made the grilled cheese with manwich tonight. It was very good. Definitely different. I have also tried the Swaggerty sausage instead of our usual. I noticed that is what you always buy. I will probably change to that for our sausage gravy. Glad to find new things to try. Love watching your channel.

I want to ask you a question that we are struggling with in our personal lives. My wife and I have a 2023 59K travato. We want to travel a lot of weekends because we still work as teachers. How do you travel so much and still stay faithful to your church? For example do you not camp on Sundays? Do you visit other churches as you travel? If I am being too personal I apologize and you don’t have to answer. I am by no means judging what you do because I can tell you live a life close to Christ. We are just trying to figure out a balance in our lives and I value your opinion on the matter. I know that we have to do what we feel is right but I thought you might have an answer that I haven’t thought about before. Thank you both so much for your videos and for your daily walk with Christ! I pray that God continues to bless you both!!! Thanks again!!!

[@FridaysForever]

Hi, please email us with your questions if possible. [e-mail] You might explain in the email what you mean by "faithful" to help us understand a bit better. Thanks!
