Dear Phil, Just a thought, the next time you come to the Smokies, if it fits in your travel plans, go to Cherokee (33 miles across the park from Gatlinburg). You will be on hwy441. Follow that road until you see a McDonalds on the right. Past Big Boy and Comfort Suites. Right across the street from the Mc Donalds is my shop. The Cherokee trader. There is a bay window with a sign that says airbrush. Thats me. Come visit. Jennifer Smith philip j lammers wrote: > Good morning Karen, > > And it is a good morning.
