This and that

My paternal grandmother "Gummy" with my cousins, her older three granddaughters, Claudette standing on right of photo. and Sandra standing on the left. Gummy was holding myself, Barbara, age 11 months. So glad she dated this. Gummy would have been 57, Claudette 3 years and 10 months, and Sandra was just 2 years and 7 months. They were about 14 months apart but I could never keep up with my cousins.

Check out my continuing rambles over on Inner Workings. It's allowed me to let my hair down (figuratively) while focusing on beauty, peace and love over here on this blog. I also have begun a new series started this month "Living till Dying."

Photo from Google maps...the upscale condos are right next to where these new homes will be built (currently a horse pasture)

A new land trust will be building low and moderate income homes near where I now live. It is presently a horse pasture. My road, Blue Ridge Rd. is soon (whenever the funding comes through) to have an exit from I-40. It will be around 1/2 mile from the new homes. The little road will definitely need to be widened and revamped. Civilization is coming into the country. Here's the article in The Valley Echo.

  1. ...had I been a bit older, I would have enjoyed attending Black Mountain College. Barbara, I wish you a Happy Mother's day.
