We are back to going round and round. Not the mulberry bush this time, although there could be a mulberry tree here that we are not recognizing as such. Rather we are walking round and round the Jackson County Recreation Center loop. Once around is six tenths of a...
Okay, so there is at least one advantage to ending our ramble earlier than planned and being at home at the end of September. We got to go to the 39th Annual Mountain Heritage Day. It's a long standing tradition on the campus of Western Carolina University. There are...
One of the joys of life in the mountains is being able to play tourist when folks come to visit. Originally Phil and Jill had agreed to come house sit for us and to check to make sure all is well with our house. Then things changed. Thinking that Gary may want us...
After last night's discovery of water problems we made an early morning call to the plumber. Based on the information we offered over the phone he suggested we probably needed the well guys, not a plumber. So we called Greene Brothers. This is the organization that...
We started the day with early Mass at St Peter's in downtown Canton then went on the The Strip, the retail district northwest of Canton overflowing with chain retail establishments. Another set of shelves. This one to contain the clutter of backpacks, shoes, and coats...
No new home truly looks settled until the art is on the walls. Dave has a nice collection of art work from his travels One that particularly speaks of his interests is the gold rubbing of a knight taken from tomb of a Crusader. When we hung that one on the wall today...
Another day of unpacking, finding homes for various items, building bookcases, searching for the lost box of bunk bed hardware. Somehow in the process of packing the hardware necessary for assembling the girls' bunk beds was put in such a safe place that it cannot be...
We raised a bibliophile. And he's passing the trait on to the next generation. Books abound in this household. In the apartment David had a hall closet that housed a good portion of his books and a couple of bookcases in the living room. In this house there is no book...
After fortifying ourselves heartily on a big breakfast at Lindsey's, a delightful independent Canton establishment, we headed to David's new house. The accumulation of boxed and bagged possessions greeted us as we...
Our plans have changed. Our route has changed. We've been planning to mosey our way south to Tween Creeks to enjoy home for at least a few days knowing that we may need to travel to Florida soon. Then last night David called and asked a favor. Could we come to Canton...

While we are here staying at the Mitchell KOA Journey in Mitchell, South Dakota over the Labor Day weekend, we conversed with several fellow travelers and learned that for most folks, this is just a quick stop along the way either on their way to or from Mount...
What an unexpected delight! When we headed to Marlin's Family Restaurant in Mitchell, South Dakota for a Sunday brunch, we never expected to enter a time warp, but suddenly Steve was transported back to childhood with the two-toned green 1956 Chevy Bel Air parked next...
Overview Video Combine archeology and a Harvest Hosts location and you've got our attention. Although we were not able to do an overnight stay, we did still get to visit an amazing location. The Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village near Mitchell, South Dakota is an...
