Curbside Casseroles, Memphis, TN
“You can drive right up to the window in your big ole' SUV and place an order for freshly made casseroles and side dishes
that your kids, husband, and mother in law will be begging you to serve. I like to… stock the freezer with every variety to
cover those days when you are running late from work or need a dinner to take to a sick friend (or just a hungry friend)
and especially for those just plain old ‘just don't feel like cooking’ days! I really kinda hate to let the word out on this
little gem!” -Maria Lingerfelt, Cordova, TN

“They had fabulous hiking that wasn't killer steep for us old folks, and we could easily choose the length of hiking we wanted.
The naturalist/ranger was quite helpful; the weather was perfect; the crowds were nonexistent. Plus, the best was we could
pay extra and take our dog…They advertise as the Grand Canyon of the South. Even the drive there through coal towns and twisty
mountain roads was beautiful.” - Rebecca Tuttle, Union Hall, VA (at Smith Mountain Lake)
