Tonight we ate dinner at The Dinner Bell a local restaurant in Sweetwater at exit 62 off I-75 going toward Knoxville. Laura had fried chicken breast and I had barbecue. They were great and worth the drive up the road a piece. The atmosphere is country, casual and warm. I have know about this restaurant for years having gone to school at Hiwassee College in nearby Madisonville, TN. The prices are good, the quality is outstanding. We will be going back sometime down the road. Thanks to my wife Laura for taking this picture.

Pat Summitt – The Challenge of Her Life

Standard

In full disclosure I am not a University of Tennessee Volunteer fan and that makes me a rarity in my home state. Today it was announced that Pat Summit who is head coach of the Lady Vols basketball team has early onset dementia that will lead eventually to Alzheimer’s it made me sad.

My grandmother has a similar condition the difference is my grandmother is in her 80’s, coach summit isn’t even 60 yet. It is my hope for coach Summitt is that she will be able to deal with this with grace and will be able to manage her condition and her career on her terms.

This is not going to be easy for her but with support she will be able to have a rich, rewarding life while she battles this condition. At this time in her life having people around her to care for her is going to be a must. She has amazing care at her disposal. There are thousands of people around the world who are dealing with this same thing and perhaps she will be able to help them too. Coach Summitt you are in our prayers.
