Let's face it, that winding, skinny road was not built for a 15 passenger Ford van. Cherokee is a cute little place, but I'm not one for tribal donations; I'm just too "thrifty" (my kids have another word for it).Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-78404676495166941442011-02-17T14:12:05.144-05:002011-02-17T14:12:05.144-05:00Larry, I've contributed to Indian Casino's...Larry, I've contributed to Indian Casino's in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, California and New Mexico. Just my generous nature at work... I'd guess that the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation will be next!

Glad you enjoyed it...<br /><br />Hope you are having a good week. Enjoy this gorgeous weather.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-2175903718838747402011-02-17T10:18:52.874-05:002011-02-17T10:18:52.874-05:00It sounds like a fun way to spend Valentines with ...It sounds like a fun way to spend Valentines with your Sweetie.

You wouldn't believe the devistation in our mountains with dead trees due to the pine beetle. So sad. Mostly in the Northern part of high country. Hillsides of orange dead Lodge Pole pines. I suppose this will really encourage future hillsides of Aspen groves.Lea Annhttp://www.highlandsranchfoodie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-80068904517613126202011-02-17T08:26:02.293-05:002011-02-17T08:26:02.293-05:00I'm surprised Paula's kitchen wasn't m...I'm surprised Paula's kitchen wasn't more impressive.

They sure draw a crowd. Rumors say there will be one in our county soon, which happens to be Cherokee County, but not where you and Bev were.<br /><br />Larry, I would bet that the fried green tomatoes that you make are better than what you had at Paula's. When I was checking out at the grocery store, I saw one of those rags that had a story "Paula Deen made me slim." I laughed all the way out of the store.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.com
