jpbluesky	Posted - Nov 11 2007 : 8:57:52 PM Katie - you did good girl! You are very thoughtful in your choices! Hubby and I just returned from a week in the Smokies too! The colors were so wonderful and the weather was perfect. They could sure use some rain, though. We were talking to one farmer and his wife who had the cutest cabin in a valley north of Asheville, and there is such a shortage of water. I felt sad for them - they were struggling as much as pioneers! HAving to give their cattle to another farmer, as hay is $135.00 a roll! We walked and walked - saw deer, picniced in the Nantahala Forest, and hunted out abandoned cabins for photos. We spent time with two different sets of friends, and ate like there was no tomorrow. One friend has a fantastic little antique shop in Dillard, GA. If you ever go through there, stop at Tippecanoe's on 441. She has some wonderful primitives and lots of "real" treasures in her shop, all with a story. Had such fun! Psalm 51: 10-13
therusticcottage	Posted - Nov 11 2007 : 4:17:44 PM Frannie -- What lovely things you got from Katie. I love the books especially. And I noticed the pics of you and Hank in younger days. I gotta tell that Hank was a definite hunk!!! Visit my Etsy Shop! http://therusticcottage.etsy.com http://therusticcottage.blogspot.com
