I will continue to focus on visiting the areas that pertain to the Little Tennessee River watershed and include them in Valley So Wild blog series. Jim Buchanan has graciously sent me another pair of cool childhood stories! We are heading to Chilhowee Lake today to his old stomping grounds so I will include them with that TR!
I will continue the Country Store blog series
I have persuaded a couple friends who are experts on Gobey to take a ride with me and Kenny to elaborate on the area, its structures, and stories. I feel this is an invaluable opportunity. I hope it can be used to benefit the Morgan County Historical Society.
On the Home Front
I am working my way through some health challenges, but with the Lord's help I'll be okay.
I'm going through the worst flare up with my lungs I've had in years. It's back, back to prednisone. Cleaning the house like Magda!
We just helped Jared & Lydia buy a home for their sweet family. They are very happy and so are we! The next few months will be a whirlwind of moving them in. Doing the updates gradually on their house. The upstairs is minor stuff. The downstairs is more involved.
We are continuing the updates to our own house finishing up the bathrooms. Reclaiming more of our space back in the shed, the bedrooms and bathrooms.
We are looking forward to a trip for July 4th to western NC for the first time since Helene hit.
We have been warned that many trails are not the same as they were before.
Hearing from Readers of My Blog
I get emails or text messages from readers now and then. I always enjoy hearing from them. I've made some good friends. I've gotten ideas that have greatly improved Cumberland Gal. I am happy to help with directions to places. I answer all emails. You never know what we could come up with together! I welcome suggestions, corrections, and do my best to be helpful.
