As most know the Hurricane hitting the NC coast is devastating to many and we wish them good luck…. But for me I’m leaving in NC…. in the city of Asheville…well to the west of the coast….We will get some rain but other then that we are safe…. be well my friends… a photo from today

One of my favorite places to go is a tool store…. I found one that I like,  it’s called Northern Tools….. not sure if they are in California but they are here in NC….I like the buckets they sell….they have info on the side….  Very Cool…..But then I looked on the back……are they kidding….. )))   It’s always good to have something make you smile……..

More Measurements…Nice

Your Kidding….. Right????

I can’t use it as a hard hat….

Each morning I get up and make the coffee….. well most of the time…… and then it’s out to the front porch and my chair to watch the day start up…. at first it might be the Hummingbirds and the rest are mostly new to me……  you see I have never been much of a bird person…… but it seems that I am now…..

Well, I now have some new friends in the morning….so I just sit in my rocking chair sipping my coffee…….. and watching the hummingbirds fly by……  Very Cool to be so close…..

The Southern Highland Craft Guild show is coming in 10 days we are making a new price list for some really cool stuff….. Some hand carved and painted earrings….  Never to soon to think about Christmas guys…

It seems that on this day…. in 1957 two  kids meet for the first time…. That would be John Lennon & Paul McCartney….. I guess you can say the rest is history…. Yeah Yeah Yeah…

Black & White……

The Mountain Nest…… a very cool place to visit……. If you are in the neighborhood…. And if you are in the neighborhood call and I will go with you to visit…..and I’ll buy the coffee….

From time to time as you go through old hard drives with photos you sometimes find a magical photo from days gone by……. This is one I always liked of my Grandkids….. and the backstory is it’s not the photo we were trying to take….  We were hoping for a shot of the girls with new dresses….  But the little one wanted nothing to do with it…. We tried everything to get them to smile for the photo, but not today…. At last Lily just started to cry and big sister put her arms around her to comfort her…. at that moment I push the button on the camera and got a far more tender moment of 2 sisters….
