The Travels of the "Klutz Sisters"

A journey with the Klutz Sisters ended with them making their way down a small, quaint lane.  It started when the two of them traveled to Townsend, Tennessee.

Kathy and I love to travel, take pictures, and meet new and interesting folks.  Kathy loves to travel to exotic places like Egypt, Israel, Nicaragua, Uganda, Peru, Jamaica, and Jordan.  Me? I've been to Canada, Mexico, and Germany with a car trip from there to Belgium and Switzerland with a stop at one of the London airports.  One of the many reasons I haven't been to other exotic places over seas is that I don't like to fly over water.  Now to many of you that seems foolish, but to me it is a big deal.  But, again I have wondered away from the topic at hand.

We are in Townsend, Tennessee and and are having such a quiet and pleasant visit.  It truly is the "quiet side of the Smokies."  We haven't even turned the television on in our room because we love the sound of silence.  Kathy reads while I write.


Today we decided to ride up to the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center.  I was following the signs and when it said turn, well, I turned.  I ended up on this quaint little narrow road which I was soon to discover was a bike trail.  Yes, you read this right!  I was driving my car on the bike trail.  I was trying to get off as soon as I possibly could, but you know how it is when you are trying to hurry, time slows down. 

Did anyone see us?  Will they recognize the silver car with the great big red "L" on the front and the two grandmothers in the car?  Will they know it is us when they see us in the local restaurant?  Embarrassed, I pretended to know what I was doing.  Driving that car on the bike trail pictured here with my chin up and my eyes on the road/trail, as if I knew exactly what I was doing.  I think that the fact Kathy was laughing hysterically might have given the hint we were in the wrong place.

Later Kathy and I were in the Carriage House eating our dinner when we realized the Klutz Sisters were now using a car as their mode for klutziness!  We are having business cards made to identify us as the
Queens of Klutzville.



 I can see the business cards now:

"Kathy and Linda Klutz
Queens of Klutzville
Broken Bones, Twisted Ankles,
and Wrecked cars
Extraordinare"


It is me again, Lord, thanking you for taking care of the Klutz Sisters.

A little Georgia Wisdom:  When traveling make sure you know which road the arrow on the sign means.  It could take you to exotic places.
