What's in Gatlinburg, TN? It's one of mine and Charies favorite vacation spots- there's outlet malls, all sorts of tourist stuff, theatres with shows, etc, and not so far from Chattanooga that you won't miss out on the stuff there either.
And what's with the "used to be smart?" ???????????????? 'was' is the best term! I was a relatively intelligent person, my tested IQ was genius level, ans my street smarts were pretty good too. But in 2003, I had major surgery, and a reaction to the anesthesia severe enough that my husband accused the doctor of taking out part of my brain, lol! I lol about it, and it's not as bad now as it was then, but sometimes, especially when stressed, I still have to search for the words I need. :-(
And I love brussel sprouts! I read that right - they're your favorite? I'm having doubts now and thinking maybe you said they're your least favorite LOL. I love them fried with butter, garlic, and then parm cheese all brown and melty on them.
OMG! I love them like that! Even my brussells sprout disliking hubby will eat them like that. :-D
