There’s not much more relaxing than floating on the river. Add to it a nice breeze, the sun ☀️ starting to set & Old Glory blowing in the wind… Priceless Zen
Summertime in Tennessee is hard to beat 😊
Enjoy your day! And don’t forget, this is a special week – This Saturday is the 4th of July! 💥🇺🇸

What a beautiful morning! The weather went from HOT to perfect 👌🏼 just like that. We spent last evening on the water watching the wildlife and waiting for the sunset. It was an evening well spent …
Such a peaceful evening as we float and watch the sun disappear into the horizon.
The river sleeps beneath the sky,
And clasps the shadows to its breast;
The crescent moon shines dim on high;
And in the lately radiant west
The gold is fading into gray.
Now stills the lark his festive lay,
And mourns with me the dying day.
~ Paul Laurence Dunbar
Have a great Sunday!

It’s hard to beat the sounds of the river. Birds, boats, the lapping of the waves coming in… Heaven! I can close my eyes, relax & go to sleep in no time 😊
I hope you found some Zen in this video… Have a great day!

What a beautiful morning! The river is smooth as glass and it feels so good outside 😊 Sunday morning with my family, on the river, at the marina for breakfast is always a Great Day! ❤️
The dogs know what Sunday morning means… BACON 🥓💥
This is the final leg of Jo & I’s 26th Anniversary celebration 😊 We had to include Jacob and the pups to really celebrate! What better way than a day on the river 😊
“That beautiful season the Summer!
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light;
and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.”

Stormy morning on the river. It limits what you can do, but it’s so nice in another way… The sound of the rain & thunder and the smell of the fresh air is wonderful! I’m gonna take what the good lord gives me and be thankful 😊
A quiet, rainy morning on the river is a magical thing 😊
“The river and the garden have been the foundations of my economy here. Of the two I have liked the river best. It is wonderful to have the duty of being on the river the first and last thing every day. I have loved it even in the rain. Sometimes I have loved it most in the rain.“
Have a great Sunday!

Well, it’s time to clean up the canoes and kayaks and hit the local rivers in earnest! I’m posting a video of a great local place to go float the Buffalo River. Whether you have your own canoe 🛶 or need to rent one, they got ya’ 😉
I usually do a Pond Or Waterfall video, but since the season is kicking back in – This is my kinda Zen 😎 Springtime in Tennessee!
See y’all on tha’ River!

Yesterday afternoon we went up to the river to look around at the flood. Many of the worst hit areas still aren’t accessible at all… But from what I saw, many have lost everything! Historic floods = Disaster!
Floods have devastated many areas up and down the TN River.
Below is a prayer I saw online about the flood and the flood victims. Our hopes and prayers are with the folks affected all up and down the river 🙏🏻
“Lord I pray your hand of safety and guidance upon all the victims of the regions under flood conditions. Bless these people Lord and keep them safe. Do not let the flood waters steal their lives. Drive back the floods to protect their homes and their precious animals”.
~ Amen 🙏🏻
The water has finally crested & will start to slowly recede now.
Have a blessed day,

Today Jo & I met up with some old friends and went on a tour of the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. All of us are fish nuts so this was a treat! We are on the last leg of our “Anniversary Trip” & this was a LOT of fun!
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
PS: For a little added fun, play the music video and then view the pictures while it plays 😂
Great Day at the Tennessee Aquarium!
