Excellent words of wisdom. I am in my 60's and a new grandfather, finally. Anyway I live here in East Tennessee and they live in Colorado. Speaking of time, I know I won't have the time with my grandson like I could have if he were living close by. I just pray that I am able to get the time to have with him and my son and daughter in law in the coming months and years. You both are wonderful and so inspirational to me and I am sure to others. God Bless you both. My Christian love to you my dear brother and sister. And please pray for me that I get the ability to see my family. Thank you.
Yall are so inspiring. Thank you for all the wisdom and time you put into these wonderful videos. Look forward to seeing where yall go next. Safe travels 💖
Just realized we live fairly close together. We are in Bristol, TN. Great videos as always! I appreciate your fireside chats and your spiritual walk! I agree, eternity is what is most important and helping others with their journey. Blessings!
I grew up playing in the creeks and there's was even a small waterfall and when my dad and mom took is to the mountains when we were kids. I had Smokey mountain fever every since. My husband and I have been going for 13 years and my in laws with us. We did lose one in law in 2019. Sure miss here being with us. We have spent our time with them in the mountains that I'll never forget❤❤
Nice camp site y’all . Can’t beat biscuits & gravy . Just discovered your channel , I’m now retired and plan on checking out the old country stores and going to swap meets as well , thanks for sharing your videos ✌️
❤The sights and sounds of your camp site are lovely! The night view was so beautiful.. Karen, your chili seemed to be another winner as well as your sausage gravy! Love eating outdoors in the mountains. Everything tastes better! ❤
Beautiful campground! Y’all have so much fun, and your meals look delicious! And we appreciate your fireside chats-always an encouraging message! May God bless you and keep you safe on your travels. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Mike and Karen, really enjoyed your video! What a beautiful campground and beautiful scenery and river! Your chili hot dogs looked so good as did your sausage gravy and biscuits. Loved your fireside chat! Love y'all and God Bless You!❤️
I actually made the grilled cheese with manwich tonight. It was very good. Definitely different. I have also tried the Swaggerty sausage instead of our usual. I noticed that is what you always buy. I will probably change to that for our sausage gravy. Glad to find new things to try. Love watching your channel.
Aww.. My man, Big T. Oh, how I miss him. Especially every time you open the van door. Another great video. 👍 I hope I can find the podcast to watch the complete fireside chat. I don't do social media. I enjoyed what I did hear. The food looked deeeeelicious. Nothing like a hot dog over a wood fire. Thanks for the blessing of the food. I really liked the campground. So many choices of camping. Thanks for sharing. How many grandchildren do ya'll have? Have fun, be safe, and God Bless.❤
We tent camped at Roamstead a couple of times just this past year. I told Carol at the front desk we found out about the campground as a result of Friday’s Forever. Because of your first review, it has become our #1 camping spot in the Smokies. Funny you mentioned NOC - we were just there a few days ago before the winter storm hit. Anyhow, thanks for all you guys do. God bless!!
Love how you edited this one, great work Thanks for all the work you put in to your videos, it’s much appreciated ❤ I love spending my time with you all, feel like family
A beautiful place! Your videos here have brought a smile to my face! I lost my Mom a couple weeks ago to Alzheimer’s and cancer. You’re right, time is so precious! Indiana weather has us inside with single digit temperatures. I can’t wait until we’re able to get back out and about again! Your videos really do help the winter blues! Thank you! 😊
Wish we were there with you both, such a beautiful place .... love your fireside chats and so funny we just received some OLD pictures from my brother and sister in law when we were young and pregnant with our first child... we looked so young and thin back then and such precious memories of our children being so little... enjoy every moment with each other and praise GOD for each and every day...Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful videos with all of us...
I love the fireside chats! What you were talking about is so true. You can’t get that time back. My biggest regret in my life is not spending time with the kids because I was working so much.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! We booked 43D in the middle of June because of you! The site looks wonderful! Just something to think about next time you make chili instead of putting sugar in your chili add a little ketchup that gives it a sweet taste.
Hey guys. Great video. We think back and man, time does fly. We've been married for a little over 48 years, seems like yesterday. We tried that site back last summer with our 30' class C but couldn't get level and had to move down the hill about 5 spots. Nice place.
It's always a pleasure to follow you mike and your very beautiful wife karen you all are such a blessing and all yes big T is truly missed he was definitely a huge part of you all's adventures in life so now big T is in puppy heaven God bless you all and your family
What amazing video 🥰 Your fireside chat really hit home and so true 😏♥️😊 We all miss Big T 😔🐾 This campgrounds is just amazing 😀❤ Thanks for sharing your adventures 🤗 God bless
I love your channel. I love your fireside chats. I love your adventures. My only complaint is that after I watch your shows, I am fiending for good food!
I'll bet that creek was roaring with the flooding, it's a beautiful campground Mike and Karen. I hope you guys don't get the cold we had in central ill. it was -13 with a - 31 windchill the past couple days with a dusting of snow. Stay Safe guys we love your videos.🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🙏
Here’s your dumb question for the night. Your shirts have 1980 & 1985 on them. What’s the significance of those years? I like summer of 80 because that’s when Greg & I met.
Me and my wife started making homemade chili after watching yall made chili online few months ago first time we used tomatoe sauce was good second time we used tomatoe soup with it both were good but liked the tomatoe soup one the best thanks for the recipe ❤
I want to ask you a question that we are struggling with in our personal lives. My wife and I have a 2023 59K travato. We want to travel a lot of weekends because we still work as teachers. How do you travel so much and still stay faithful to your church? For example do you not camp on Sundays? Do you visit other churches as you travel? If I am being too personal I apologize and you don’t have to answer. I am by no means judging what you do because I can tell you live a life close to Christ. We are just trying to figure out a balance in our lives and I value your opinion on the matter. I know that we have to do what we feel is right but I thought you might have an answer that I haven’t thought about before. Thank you both so much for your videos and for your daily walk with Christ! I pray that God continues to bless you both!!! Thanks again!!!
Hi, please email us with your questions if possible. fridaysforever2@gmail.com You might explain in the email what you mean by "faithful" to help us understand a bit better. Thanks!
There is nothing like nature's music. I am going to try to find some of the sausage like you had. I had watched several people cook it and it looks so good. I enjoy your videos so much, you are both such an amazing couple. I bet the campsite is really beautiful with the snow. I love the stream at your campsite. I love nature's music especially in the morning. I was really being good and walking every day but it has got too cold now, I know that is no excuse, it just now got cold. LOL Thank you for sharing your videos. I want a hot dog with good chili now since I saw yours. lol
Karen and Mike sure stay good looking even when boondocking at a Cracker Barrel or jumping out of the Travato in the morning at the Roamstead campground which looks like a fantastic place!
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO DO IT OVER THE CAMP FIRE!....COME ON NOW, LET'S GET PRIMITIVE AND MAKE THOSE BISCUITS IN A CAST IRON DUTCH OVEN OVER THE FIRE TO DO IT RIGHT! LOL! LOOKED GOOD THOUGH! BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU EVER TASTED SCRAMBLED EGGS OVER A REAL FIRE? YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THEM AS THEY ARE GREAT.
Beautiful campground! 🎉❤🙌🙌💯
Beautiful conversation!!! Bless you both!! Praying for you!!
Always enjoy watching, absolutely love how you guys share your faith. Blessings

🥂 and do. The older I get, it seems like I’m in a race with time, and it gets away…
My kiddos have grown up, and now working on The Grandkids. Amen on Eternity 🙏 🕊️
I can relate to everything you both are saying!
I have tried to look from my deathbed backwards, on what I would regret and trying to get that done before my time on earth is up…
👋😃
Aww.. Big T. I lost my dog Casey about the same time. I feel your loss.
We are so sorry Emmy.
Love how you edited this one, great work
Thanks for all the work you put in to your videos, it’s much appreciated ❤
I love spending my time with you all, feel like family
Thank you so much!
We sure do miss Big T. Will you ever consider getting another pug?
A beautiful place! Your videos here have brought a smile to my face! I lost my Mom a couple weeks ago to Alzheimer’s and cancer. You’re right, time is so precious!
Indiana weather has us inside with single digit temperatures. I can’t wait until we’re able to get back out and about again!
Your videos really do help the winter blues! Thank you! 😊
We are so sorry to hear about your mother.
Wish we were there with you both, such a beautiful place .... love your fireside chats and so funny we just received some OLD pictures from my brother and sister in law when we were young and pregnant with our first child... we looked so young and thin back then and such precious memories of our children being so little... enjoy every moment with each other and praise GOD for each and every day...Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful videos with all of us...
Thanks so much for sharing the memories with us. God bless.
Thank you for the tour. Haven’t been by there in awhile. Looks really nice. God Bless and stay safe 🙏
Thanks for watching. God bless!
I used to use milk in my scrambled eggs until my aunt told me to use water. it really does make them light and fluffy
I love the fireside chats! What you were talking about is so true. You can’t get that time back. My biggest regret in my life is not spending time with the kids because I was working so much.
Thank you.
Love the sound of the water. Would sleep like a log. Where exactly is Rounstead Campground ?
On 321 heading towards Cosby
Mmmmmm
Stay puffed marshmallows come in a milk chocolate, cookies n cream and salted caramel filled marshmallow.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! We booked 43D in the middle of June because of you! The site looks wonderful! Just something to think about next time you make chili instead of putting sugar in your chili add a little ketchup that gives it a sweet taste.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you! Also, thank you for sharing your life with us!! Enjoy your content and your fireside chats! God is great!!!! ❤️❤️

Hot dogs and chili are good, but biscuits and gravy top 'em!
Love your sweater Karen! Where’d you get it?
I will ask her if she remembers. Thank you
Do you know if I could have the recipe for your homemade chili. I really love a good homemade chili and I bet yours is outstanding.
We did make a video with instructions on how to make. It's on our Facebook page.
Hey I love your videos
Thank you!
I love your channel. I love your fireside chats. I love your adventures. My only complaint is that after I watch your shows, I am fiending for good food!
Sorry about that

Is there a recipe for your homemade sausage gravy cause if there is I'd love to have it as well.
Not really just keep trying till you get it the way you like.
Has anyone had hamburger gravy?? Over mashed potatoes. Yum

What is the temperature there while you were eating?
37
Sugar in sausage gravy? I just don't think i could tolerate that taste.
