Imagine That!!

Guess where this is?? Two story sidewalks the only ones in the United States. Give Up??? Morristown Tn. yep that is where I was this week. Had to go downtown to see this myself. It is also where Davy Crockett lived. Man and it takes about 4 hours to get there. What a long haul. Glad to be back in God's country. Trying to get along without my cat and the welcomes that he provided. It's like losing a part of the family. But, am coping. Waiting on the snow that they are calling for Saturday, yeeeeha!!!!! We'll see if they hit it or not. Could be very interesting. Next week am in NC, yeah! Still a 2 1/2 hour drive but it's low country. Enjoy the picture and I will try to get back to ya next week.

My cat !!

This is dedicated to my precious pet, BooBooBoy! He passed today and I will miss him dearly. I do not know why or how! All I knew is that he went quickly. Tuesday evening we were playing and snuggling then Wednesday afternoon he became ill and it was down hill from there. It seems like the things that I care so much about leave and I will have to fill another hole. He is in a better place and I told him that we will meet again. I think that I will wait till Spring to start looking for another Manix. He knew that I loved him and looked forward to him meeting me when I returned from my trips.
Well on with life and I have cried myself out. So, now am good!
Good Bye Booger, you were a great cat and I will miss you very much!

What's This?

Do you know what this is?? It's a National Monumate for a President. Yep, this is where I was on November 17,2009. Which President? Andrew Johnson, the 17th he took over after Lincon died. He lived in Greeneville, TN. Very interesting tour and facts about this man, he was wrapped in an American flag with the Constituation under his head when he was buried. I enjoy the walking tour and exploring his home. His wife and youngest son are still in the house. You could feel the presents if you open your mind and senses. They were sick and left a presents that kind of took your breathe away. Anyway, I had to leave their rooms the air was thick. I think that is what made me feel weak and caused a viris. Trying to feel better and get over the experience.
Hope that you enjoy the picture and the story of my adventure.

Oh, the places I go!!

Guess where I was this week? This is a marble courthouse, the marble came from Marble, NC. Give up? Murphy, NC yep I sent 4 days in a small town and it was interesting and boring at the same time. I also went to the Cherokee Indian Musuem next door and checked the rolls. Umm, interesting! Found out that the Nations name is there but we just have to get the Family Bible and follow thru to be put there permenant. I have been putting that off for a while, you know am strating to see things thru, I think that it is an age thing. Anyway this week I will be going to Greeneville, TN for 3, maybe 4 days then I get the week of Thanksgiving off. Yes, rest at last,mmm, maybe!! I am cooking this year so that is going to leave alot of leftovers and turkey salad, LOL !!!! Will close for now, glad to have the work.

Work in the Carolina's

HI, this is the Vietmanse people that I was working with and for last week. They were a great group of people. They even fed us supper on Tuesday night. Dang, I have never had a filet migon as big as that or as delicious. Everyday they supplied lunch and drinks and were very happy for us to be setting up there store. I got tickled when the Mexican's came in to apply for a job and Ben would tell them, "I do not speak Spainish, only American. No, English no job!" I wish that more people were like that it pleased me to see a stand up person. Besides he says that he was raised here and respects the American's. What a great person. Anyway I spent 4 days in Charlotte, NC working and I did go to see my sister who lives in Charlotte. It was a good trip.
Things are picking up for me right now so sometimes it is hard to find the time to let you know how things are going, but I will try to keep in touch as much as possible.
Till next time, maybe tomorrow, have a great day.

Me, travel!!!

Wow, what a week and a half. Last week I was in Monroe, NC for 3 days and I thought that I had went out of country with the exception of 74 it's a race track! LOL!!! There were a lot of Mexican's and Indian's in this med size town. Almost all the restaurant's were Mexican Food expect for the usual fast foods and a few up scale restaurants. I couldn't wait to get back to the mountain.
Then I went to Asheville, NC boy was I fooled. Another piece of work in this state. There were Jamaicans and hippies everywhere. I was working at the Earth Fare and that was a hoot. In the late morning to early afternoon there was a Jamaican there beating a drum and singing really loud. In the afternoon in came these guys raggedly dressed with guitars and a fiddle and picked. They brought there collection bag for tips, no doubt I did not tip. Oh, and inside you could get a massage the first 5 minutes were free. Man the mountains are changing and not for the good.
Anyway am back on the mountain, with a work order for Charlotte, NC next week. I know pit city but it's a job. Besides I see some really strange things in these cities and how people are trying to make a way thru life. Oh, about forgot I saw too many dreadlocks! Yech!!!
That's it for now will try to write again soon.
