Gatinlinburg TN

We visited Gatlinburg. It is such a pretty town with steep mountains on all sides. Like Pigeon Forge it is very commercialized on the main streeet area. We try to stay away from there except to do some training time for Homer. It is a good place to walk with him and work on his attentiveness!









A lady stopped us in Gatlinburg to pet Homer and she was a local resident. She told us about the Craft Loop which was a few miles east of town. We spent the afternoon cruising through the valley loop of artist's shops and studios. It was such a beautiful sunny day and perfect in every way. One of the shops was a mountain dulcimer maker. Here he is with my new music instrument! Now I have a challenge - Turn this left-brained person into a right-brained person! Ha! Doug is currently strumming away on MY dulcimer picking tunes that just flow out of his head while I am still picking at the first song in the beginners book. I think this is going to be a long journey to the right brain!
