Valentines day 2009, what do you think of first? LOVE – That 4 letter word that every human being needs to hear to feel complete. From the beginnings of time men and women will go to any length to extract that word from the opposite sex.  Even in a confirmed recession men and women are opening their wallets to help magnify their love.

Money is no object it seems when you truly love something or someone.  Our cabins are full and the big question is where do they have the best steak?  It is quite funny when people call and say “why is it so busy up here”?  All the while they have left their kids with grandma to come stay 2 nights with their wife or husband.

This just proves how much the media and news coverage has jaded the way the human race feels about each other.  Subconsciously people think because of a war or recession only a fortunate few will be able to treat their sweetie to a romantic night out.  In the minds of most there is a voice saying “we will go to Gatlinburg because it won’t be busy! there is a recession you know.” 

I am going to end this blog with some advice directed towards the nay-sayers of love. Get in your car and drive to Gatlinburg Tennessee tonight Feb. 14 Valentines day.  Once you get set down with a cold beverage and appetizers on the way, I want you to ask yourself 2 questions. Why did I just set in traffic for 3 hours? Why did I stand in line for 1 hour to eat?  Now look across the table at that beautiful woman or handsome man your with and tell them how much you LOVE them!!  What was that you said? Yes thats right 4 hours of torture to hear 1 needed word - LOVE!!!

By the way its 3 p.m. now, you better jump in the car if you want to eat by 8!!!
