Roundabout Construction

When Tom and I got home from Fort Frederica in April, construction was just beginning on a roundabout at the intersection of Lewis Center Road and Worthington Road.

He lives in Speedwell, Tennessee, so he isn’t far from Triple Falls. Triple Falls is a man-made waterfall on Bruce Creek. When I-75 was built through this part …

Relaxing with Friends and Activity

Last week I wrote about the work Tom and I are doing at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. This week I am writing about relaxing. Relaxing and doing chores. Relaxing, doing chores, and hiking. Well, you know what I mean. One of the really nice things about coming back to Cumberland Gap is already knowing …

Very grateful it was caught and addressed. Dermatologists are very observant. I took my mom because she had alot of…

LOL.... yes. A very favorite aunt used moth balls in her house. The smell reminds me of her.
