Getting Out of the House

Hot Springs Resort and Spa

Okay so the resort and spa part might be stretching it a little, but the mineral hot tub was enjoyable! We had decided that we were going to get out of the house this weekend and go somewhere. I had seen an article in Southern Living and in the newspaper about this place, so we decided to give it a try!! It was $25 dollars for an hour. I was trying to cure David's bad hip! He said it did not work; at least not in one session!! The trip over was a beautiful drive through Pisgah National Forest. I caught up on three days of newspapers and some catalogs as well.

After our hot tub soak, we stopped at the Smoky Mountain Diner for a delicious hamburger and fries lunch.

This is what it looked like from the outside...


And this is the gorgeous view from our booth!!

On the way home we had good reception for WIVK to listen to the UT-Florida game. The first half was so good that we were dying to get to a television. So......

we stopped at the Chop House next to Bass Pro Shops in Sevierville and sat in a booth at the bar and ate again!!! We had perfect seats for the not so perfect third quarter of the ballgame.

This was supper tonight. I thought it turned out pretty good. I am trying to use up the food I have on hand before payday and this is what I came up with. Actually Ina came up with. Here is the recipe I used. It was her Omelette for Two.

One thing I have got to learn-to remember that the handle to the skillet is very hot when it has been in the oven!!
