Sarah and I ventured out to dinner last night at the Cherokee Grill in downtown Gatlinburg.  It was a magical evening as we sat by the fireside with a view of snow falling outside on the Gatlinburg streets. Sharing the seafood salad with a loaf of fresh-baked bread is our favorite option from the Cherokee Grill menu.

This morning’s dawn revealed a heavy dusting … maybe an inch or two … of snow. Very cold, around 13 degrees … with heavy snow clouds still stalled on Mt. LeConte in the Smoky Mountains.

We had planned another workday down at the William Britten Gallery getting ready for Saturday’s grand opening, but enjoyed a snow day instead.
