 I realized that most of the time I am writing about the beauty and joy of mountain living. As much as we love being up on this mountain, you can't help but miss a few things about being down below. I polled the crew to find out what creature comforts they missed when they were on the mountain for weeks at a time. Here were the responses.
Chrissy: constant communication and interaction with friends and family. Laurie: internet access and Wikipedia Walt: a good mattress Meredith: sushi Scott: steak John: tv and access to watching sports all day Bonnie: swimming Allyson: having a garden and growing fresh veggies Chris: having The New York Times newspaper readily available. The one creature comfort we could all agree on was indoor plumbing. Every winter I look forward to having the bathroom be in the same building that I live in. Now, with that being said, the pros to mountain life outweigh the comforts we miss. That will be saved for another blog entry.

Oh, Allyson, you have done it again with an absolutely amazing photo! I love close-ups like this and also the bee on the flowers. Thanks so much for a beautiful and interesting post. I am surprised that some of you miss various media- television, newspaper, etc. I'm not sure, but I think I would miss ice cubes the most.

@Karen....I have to agree about missing ice cubes and "more convenient" access to plumbing.

Convenience of indoor right in the same building plumbing would be a biggie for me but I have to admit I'd miss my ice cold coke in the morning. That's like coffee to me. Great detailed pic Allyson.

Hi Allyson I tried to find you when we hiked up Alum Cave Bluffs this past Wed. but I would get where they thought you were and you had moved on. Oh well. I did talk to Chrissy a minute while I bought our shirts and candy bars. We took off after we ate our quick lunch and got down with a couple of sprinkles that felt good and when we sat in our Jeep it poured!! Nothing personal but I'm glad I didn't talk to you because I would have been soaked!! It was a great hike! You and the crew are so lucky to see different views each day. Also I saw your work at The Carousel. Wow. We are also going to have some brooms (different than David's) jump ropes and dog leashes and possibly a baby scrapbook there. We had a great time in Gatlinburg and the mountains. Can't wait to return!! Comments are closed.
