Tennessee Bound

Don't be too jealous, but...

On Dec 1st, I am moving down to Chattanooga, Tennessee for work. This has been a goal of Laurie and mine for more than a decade. For those who don't know, Chattanooga is on the Southeast border of Tennessee, just a few miles from Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina. On the edge of the Smoky Mountains. Anyone who knows me has heard me talk lovingly of the Smoky Mountains. And now I will get to live where I love to vacation!!

Laurie will be getting the house ready to sell this Spring and will follow me down when the house closes. Our plan is to buy a house big enough for many of our Minnesota and Wisconsin friends and family to visit us for a night or extended stay. I hope many of you will come enjoy the Thumper's Southern Hospitality with some Northern flair!

The TCVR has really been one of the best things to happen in my life. Many of you truly are family to me. It is with great sadness that Laurie and I start this next chapter in our lives. So many of you have been so close to me over the many changes these last 15 years. You guys (and gals) are the greatest and can never be replaced.

If anyone can make it to the Wicked Wednesday at Jake's in Plymouth on Wednesday Nov 28th, that would mean so much to me you wouldn't believe. I know it's a busy and cold time of year, and I understand if you cannot make it.

And Laurie will be by herself for much of the Winter.
Any help and support you can offer her would be greatly appreciated.

With love, sorry and excitement,
- Thumper!

best of luck, and to quote Alabama:

"Me and my woman's done made our plans
On the Tennessee River, walkin' hand in hand
Gonna raise a famly, Lord, settle down
Where peace and love can still be found
Oh, Tennessee River and a mountain man,
We get together anytime we can"

Congratulations on the new gig and the big move!!!

That's a beautiful part of the country to live and you'll have access to some of the best roads the US has to offer!!!

Going to miss you and Laurie, but I am sure it's not goodbye, rather, see you later!
