This was first posted December 4, 2015. Strangely enough, I’ve been helping with the wreath for Festival of Trees and decorating the library the past few days. Although I feel like I should have lost 10 pounds in the past two days, of course, that’s just a dream. I have *worked* though! I’ve decorated the…

For a jigsaw puzzle of this sunset, go HERE.
Festival of Trees
I went in to the library to finish decorating for our Open House and Silent Auction next Monday. It’s a big and fun party and we try to do it up right. It does take a fair amount of work though! As I worked, my co-workers were busy creating a wreath to donate to the…
Birthday Girl
Well, the snow and cold arrived. Four inches of snow and a high of 17 degrees today. It’s currently -6 and there’s frost edging the corners of my windows. The guys continue on the pipeline and hauling hay. We held Reagan’s birthday party. Unbelievably, she turned eight yesterday! Megan’s birthday was also yesterday, but without…
For Now
There’s a storm coming. I took a bit of time to put up a few Christmas decorations. I’m limited though, by these things. I can’t put out decorations that these curious critters can rub on or lick. They’ve ruined decorations before, but I took a chance on a simple wreath, hopefully out of sight on…

Here’s to all of you up late, cooking for tomorrow! Sit down, relax, and put together this puzzle of an ancient tree trunk! Go HERE.
Tanasi Land
Before this week’s cold and snow arrived, I ran up the mountain to my Tanasi Land. This little, rocky knob is named after my great great grandmother. I have an idea of a project for this place, whether or not I will be able to pull it off is another matter! But for now, I…
Pipeline and Tanks
Being of inquisitive mind, I had to see the latest on the pipeline and water tanks. Number One Number Two Number Three. The guys have been busy. But they aren’t done. The longest stretch of pipeline is yet to come!
Trail of Tears Walk – 2
As of today, we are in Arkansas, 171 miles along, 37% done. Since we started, I decided to look up which Trail of Tears my ancestors actually were on. We’re rewalking the Trail of 1830/31. Come to find out, my great great great grandparents were on the Trail in 1833. Leroy (Lee) Griggs, who was…
