George and I celebrated our 105th MONTH-aversary yesterday. Since we didn't get married until 2001, we celebrate as much as we can (trying to make up for all of those years we weren't together). We had a fabulous day on the plateau --so we decided to visit one of our favorite local places, the Cumberland Mountain State Park. We had hoped to eat dinner in their lodge restaurant ---but found it closed... Sniff Sniff!!!!
SO--we walked around and took some pictures before leaving to find another restaurant. After taking pictures, we went to the Vegas Steak House in Crossville (a new restaurant for us) and were very pleased. (I'm always afraid to try a new restaurant.) We both got Prime Rib, baked potato and salad. Dinner was excellent --and we will definitely go back there again!!!!
Here are some pictures from yesterday!!! The picture above is a view of the lake looking toward the bridge. Don't you love the reflections? Below are more.
This girl is so happy to be married to this wonderful man!!! It was a gorgeous late afternoon at the park.
Here's another view of the lake... I was thrilled with the reflections since the water was very CALM.
We are enjoying our new cameras SO much. This picture of George was VERY dark --but I was able to lighten it some using our NEW Photo Shop Elements program. (Thanks Richard!)
The Canada Geese were looking for something to eat --but I had nothing with me. Shame on me!!!!!
This little guy was resting on ONE leg.... Maybe he was practicing for the ballet!!! Ya think???? ha ha
The Canada Geese didn't get all of my attention. These Mallard Ducks wanted me to know that they were there also. So --I just 'had' to take their picture too!!!!
We hiked to the other side of the bridge/dam (bridge is built over the dam) to get a picture of the 'waterfall' there. Guess what we saw on our path????? Obviously, beavers have been very busy in this area!!!!!!
This is the 'waterfall' on the other side of the dam... Even though it is not a 'real' waterfall ---we still like to see it, especially when there is so much water coming over the spillway.
And--here's the end of a beautiful day in Tennessee!!!!! We came out of the restaurant at the perfect time ---and were able to snap this picture before the sun went totally down... Thanks Be to God for our fabulous Month-aversary!!!!
Hugs,

Happy celebrations.You both look happy and red. The pictures are beautiful and no wonder with those beaut cameras. It was meant to be that the restaurant was closed so that yo could find a new one with good fare.
Keep smiling you love birds.
Happy 105th month-aversary, Betsy and George! I think it's so lovely and romantic that you two celebrate that way. And you're very fortunate to have such a nice state park nearby. That bridge is really pretty.
Happy Anniversary! Beautiful pictures and a beautiful couple!
You guys are so in love it makes me smile every time you post about another month's anniversary Betsy. You are lucky to have found one another, and it's obvious you live in each and every moment together. :c)
Happy Anniversary Betsy and George !
What a gorgeous day we had in our fair State yesterday, and even nicer today...
Love the old bridge, it reminds me of England.
We are so fortunate to havae an abundance of lakes in our area, filled with all kinds of wildlife, that are both beautiful and entertaining.
You are the PERFECT couple.
Hugs,
Jo
Happy Anniversary. I know that park well. We stayed there once. The cabins were rugged but we had a lot of fun in the boats...I think it was a paddle boat. We had a good time there.
I LOVE prime rib and you are making me hungry to have some for breakfast. I love it with creamy horseradish. Yum.
Hope you all have a great day today.
Thanks for your blog comments. I appreciate ALL of them. All is well.

Such wonderful color in your photos. Glad the two of you are enjoying your new cameras. I can't remember if you told us what kind of cameras you got. I will have to go back in your posts and see.
Happy 105th Month Anniversary friend!

MONTHLY ANNIVERSARIES ???You guys really set the romance bar high. Kind of makes a normal, everyday marriage look sad. You are truly blessed to have found each other.
His new camera bag looks cool. Good choice.
Yup - you did - Canon XSI. Lovely. What did George get though?
Happy celebrations!
Lovely pictures yet again!!!
How wonderful that you found each other!!
I love these photos. Lovely reflections and very peaceful.
The sunset looked like the beautiful ending of a perfect day for you two. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy.
I got a new camera in December last year. Do you want to return to every place you've ever been just so you can take pictures with your new camera? That's how I am :-)
Happy 105th-month anniversary...how romantic!
2001?? Why, you two are just newly-weds! LOL! glad you had a wonderful day. I enjoyed the gorgeous pictures!
Happy Monthaversary!
What beautiful reflections and scenery.
You and George are truly blessed to have found each other.

Fantastic pictures, Betsy! What a great way to spend your special day. :D Here's to many more celebrations ahead!
Happy 105th Month-aversary to you and George! Great pictures, nice how you were both wearing red. I love all the reflections, waterbirds and sunset too. :)
Hi Betsy, what a beautiful place. And a good meal too:) I've been to Crossville many times but can't remember that bridge. If I was driving across it, maybe I couldn't see how pretty it was.

Happy 105th month anniversary...May God bless you with abundant health and happiness,,,take care now
now you made me hone my math skills, i had to figure our MONTHS which comes to 301. WOW we need to celebrate. love all the photos, especailly the ones of you and George.
What a beautiful park. Happy anniversary!
What a wonderful day for you both.
I LOVE the photo of the waterfall/dam.
Happy anniversary to you both!!

You two are having way too much fun! LOL Happy Anniversary
You two are having way too much fun! LOL Happy Anniversary
Betsy, you two look so happy . . .and I like your red, matching sweaters! The reflections in the water are almost as pretty as the actual scenery! Of course, the sunset pic is gorgeous! Glad you had a wonderful anniversary, and I wish you many more!!
What a gorgeous place to visit on your 105th monthaversary! I think you and George celebrate your togetherness every day. You're a wonderful pair. Hugs!
Happy 105th!!! I like those reflections, too, but I LOVE that bridge...everything looks so peaceful in your pics. It sounds like a wonderful day.
Hi Betsy, me again. I saw the cutest cake topper on Rosey's Memory Tome blog and immediately thought of you and George. It would be perfect for your 106th month anniversary cake:)

Have a wonderful day. Marnie
Wow Betsy the reflections are excellent. You could flip some of those and nobody would know.
That spill way looks unique. How old is it I wonder. Each stone upon the other.
The sun goes down on another happy day. MB
I'm so glad that your and George do so much together. I just wish Ben could walk more so he could do more with me. We do a lot together though. That is so cute that you guys celebrate each month's anniversary. Ben and I will be married 30 years on April 5th.
Love the reflections of the bridge, and all the pics esp the sunset.
Glad you had a great meal too.
I am so glad you shared your special day with us. I have enjoyed it from beginning to end, it is kind of a photo journal of the trip. The reflections are actually prettier than the real thing!!!! And how about those reflections in the picture of the duck on one leg? Great! Even prettier than the reflections is the picture of you standing in front of them. Your face just radiates joy from within. How do you know it was a beaver? It kind of looks like someone started to chop it down and then changed their mind! But I guess that's a ludicrous assumption. Your dinner description is making me hungry.
Once again you folks know how to celebrate,and then God adds His touch to it by giving you a beautiful sunset.He must have been smiling down on you all day.
Do you have Elements 8? I'm guessing you do because of the Macs.
Blessings,Ruth
Beautiful pictures and reflections. You are so wonderful with all your sharings.

Hi Betsy! I started out on George's blog reading about the damn and then came here. Your pictures are beautiful! What a nice peaceful place to go spend time together. :)
Betsy you and George are a gift from God that he gave to each of you. You two are a perfect fit for each other.
This park is beautiful and reminds me of a park near us. Well, minus the wonderful waterfall and the geese. OK, and the bridge too.
Otherwise it looks the same. giggle, giggle :)
You look so happy, I've been married 9 years May 16...and wow am I glad I found Joe so I understand...as I'm 63 and living life with my honey great photos, have fun.

Happy 105 anniversary! You and George have such a sweet story together and wish you many, many more happy years together! P.S. The photos were spectacular, especially the last one.
With 48 comments before me, I'm just going to say DITTO from me! You two are so wonderful and so blessed! Awesome!
Beautiful reflections, Betsy. I think that dam is so pretty with the old stonework in different colors. Happy Anniversary. Diane
How cute you two celebrate that way..you crack me up.
Nice photos...we haven't heard the geese returning here yet, but the robins made it back!
You know this is one of my favorite places in the area. Sold several cards using the fall colors around that bridge. It is so peaceful to walk around the lake when others are not there. I am sure it was a lovely time for you two.
Happy 105th MONTH-aversary! You and George are so romantic. Celebrating this special occasion with beautiful mother nature is the best way. Have a wonderful day and even more blessed moments to come, Betsy :)
