My Weekend ....

It has been beautiful here in East Tennessee this week-end. It has also been busy in my neck of the woods. It was Friday morning and I knew my daughter had to go to Cleveland TN, to give a presentation on Saturday. She was to leave after her teaching job was over on Friday afternoon. Well, Friday morning she called me and said that her youngest (Lucas) was sick. I told her I would be there to stay with him until she returned on Saturday. On my way there I called Lucas to tell him I was on my way. His answer was, "Granny, I feel better already". He WAS running a fever when I got there but I doctored him and in no time he was "up and running". Anyway, we had two good days together, and he is fine now! Today on Sunday we went to Weaverville NC to visit Bill's sister. The mountains between Bristol and Ashville are starting to turn colors . It was a pleasant drive and a nice visit. Now I hope I can sleep better than I did last night. We shall see......very soon!!!!

I'm glad to hear Lucas is feeling better after some time with you. I bet you spoilt him well.

Oh, by the way, did you remember those patterns? =-); 11:05 AM

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
