Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Be thankful.

I've just returned from a weekend trip to Knoxville, TN. I stayed at the historic St. Oliver Hotel.

The hotel's history began in 1876 when German immigrant Peter Kern had the building constructed to house his Kerns Bakery, an ice cream parlor, a confectionery and a grand ballroom. Kerns Bakery remains an integral part of Knoxville's business community, located not far from its original location. The building became a hotel in 1981 to accommodate visitors coming to the Worlds Fair, held in Knoxville the following year. The Kerns Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It was a very relaxing trip. I took some photos, but mostly I just spend time with my son and daughter, laughing, talking and generally fooling around.

There will probably be some photos from this adventure, but I haven't been through them yet.

I appreciate all the comments and s while I've been gone. You are all wonderful and I love you muchly.

QOW:
I try to treat whoever I meet as an old friend. This gives me a genuine feeling of happiness. It is the time to help create a happier world.
The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. This helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the ultimate source of success in life.
