Happy Sunday!
Robert and I had the opportunity to get away and experience a change of seasons. And we took it!
Yes, it was spontaneous. But sometimes the best adventures are the ones we don’t plan!
We decided to visit the one other place in the United States where I could see us living… Tennessee!
With the beautiful scenery, the change of seasons, and the continuing celebration of Robert’s birthday, it was the perfect little escape.
Here are a few highlights of our whirlwind birthday getaway!

Robert had to work on his real birthday… but a new adventure was about to begin!

We left Florida at 8:30 pm on Friday, 10/16, and arrived in Tennessee on Saturday, 10/17, at 7:45 am… It was truly a spontaneous teenage decision by two seniors!

Sunday, our first hike… Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail and The Ephraim Bales property.

I love this picture of the Birthday Boy!

Exploring the Ephraim Bales back yard… I cannot imagine growing up surrounded by these spectacular views!

Monday, in Gatlinburg, TN, starting at the Rooftop Bar. We had a beautiful view.

Our view at dinner… I love Gatlinburg, TN!

Thursday’s hike had some of my favorite views. The weather was perfect… not a cloud in the sky!

Getting to Grotto Falls was a breathtakingly beautiful hike.

This was what we were looking forward to witnessing!

A little closer…

The other side of Grotto Falls through my perspective.

One of the many highlights of this trip… this amazing waterfall!


We found parking 1/2 a mile away from Grotto Falls… but this phenomenal view was still waiting for us at the end the hike!

After the hike we went to The Island in Pigeon Forge. At the top of The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel

After a week with two days of work and some play, we started our 11 hour journey back home. We had such an unbelievable time and much needed rest.

I hate to admit it… but we gave into all the Buc-ee’s craze. Now our friends cannot say, “WUH, you never been to Buc-ee’s? You got to go to Buc-ee’s!” Now we can say, “Yes.” But this is a one and done for us!

The Lillian McDermott Radio Show/Classroom!
Monday, 10/26/26 Facebook Throwback Party 8:05 am ~ As I get older, I mean bolder, I find myself asking more questions about what it really means to age well. Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline can be frightening. But I don’t want to simply accept them as an inevitable part of aging. I want to understand what may be driving these changes and, more importantly, what I can do about them. When I came across Ravi Kumar, MD, a board-certified neurosurgeon on his podcast The Dr. Kumar Discovery, I knew I wanted to learn with him. Dr. Kumar has been exploring the science behind brain health, including metabolic health, insulin resistance, sleep, hearing loss, APOE4, amyloid, and lifestyle factors that may influence cognitive decline. Dr. Kumar will help us look beyond the fear of Alzheimer’s and focus on what we can learn, what we can change, and how we can become more proactive about protecting our brains. (Aired 10/1/26)

Tuesday, 10/27/26 Facebook Throwback Party 8:05 am ~ We just celebrated a holiday that focused on giving thanks. After Thanksgiving, different denominations, faiths, and cultures celebrate their winter holidays. But when you have suffered a loss, family gatherings can create great sadness as you realize that someone who died will not be at the celebration. Celebrations are an opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and rejoice. But how can we do that when the person we love is no longer on this earth. I will share how to embrace and deal with the loss of our loved ones during the holidays. (Aired 11/30/23)
Wednesday, 10/28/26 WYNAF,YouTube, or Facebook PREMIERE 8:05 am ~ A new school year can bring excitement and opportunity. But it can also introduce stress, anxiety, changing routines, difficulty focusing, and emotional challenges for children and families. John Silva, DC, always helps us explore natural ways to support our brain health and overall well-being, especially for our children. Parents can become more intentional about creating an environment where their children can thrive by understanding how sleep, stress, nutrition, healthy routines, and brain function can influence focus and emotional resilience. Dr. Silva will share practical insights to help families support focus, confidence, emotional balance, and healthy brain development throughout the new school year, naturally.
Thursday, 10/29/26 WYNAF,YouTube, or Facebook PREMIERE 8:05 am ~ I have learned that some of our deepest beliefs are also the ones we may be least likely to question. Hell is one of them. Many of us grew up hearing certain teachings about eternity, judgment, and what happens after we die. But have we personally examined those teachings or have we simply accepted what we were told? My faith in God is important to me. I believe seeking truth means being willing to ask difficult questions. What does Scripture actually say about hell? How have our traditions shaped our understanding? And how do we reconcile what we believe with our understanding of God’s love, justice, and mercy? I’m not asking you to abandon your faith, rather, to be curious. I want us to explore it more deeply, look at the teachings we may have taken for granted, and consider whether there is more to understand. I believe we should never be afraid to seek truth even when the questions challenge what we have always believed.
Friday, 10/30/26 Facebook Throwback Party 8:05 am ~ As we get older, and hopefully wiser, we realize what truly matters in life. What do you remember most… receiving the latest and greatest toy or spending time having fun with your parents, family, children, or grandchildren? Sometimes our priorities, when it comes to gift giving, can be off balance. We want to give the best gift ever, but we neglect the gift that endures. I will share how to give the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season and beyond. (Aired 12/5/23)
It is a busy week and I hope you will set your reminder to meet me on the air… Let’s listen, discuss, and all learn together!
