This is from a few hours of hanging out at our friends family farm. After a little buggy ride down an old dirt road we headed back to their place and watch the sun set. Blood Mountain is the main mountain on the left in the 2 images without the sun in it. The sunset image looks over Blairsville and the Trackrock area. Beautiful country!

We just had a kind soul buy $80 worth of raffle tickets but didn’t have room for the photo. She said to give them away to people buying tickets. So the next 8 people that come in to buy a ticket will get one extra one!! How awesome! She just loved the cause of making Christmas a little more special for those who are as fortunate. Come on down and pay it forward if you want:). Let’s raise some money!!

I have such a difficult time asking everyone if they want to buy a raffle ticket for this photo but it’s for a great cause. You can buy tickets from the UC Sheriff office or from Sunrise Grocery. The image is a 48x48 of this Bear from right here in the Choestoe Valley. It also has a locally made Barnwood frame! Each ticket is 10$ and goes towards shop w a cop for Christmas! The stories that come from this event are heartwarming! The kids who doesn’t have much are often looking for gifts for those who they love! I really want to raise the most money ever raised! I want to keep a total then next year I want to beat that. We have a such great community so let’s show out! We have done great so far!!

I will share a story with you that I'm pretty fond of. Our neighbor who is no longer with us, Jerry Lance was a man of few words. But those words were wise. He was a gentle giant who I had a lot of respect for. I loved his stories and he is the one who brought the story of Lordamercy Cove alive. This story is about Mountain Laurel. He did some grading and helped us build a spot for a firepit. The area is covered in Mountain Laurel. It was in the winter so it was bare leaves. I asked him when Mountain Laurel bloomed. Expecting him to say April, May, or something like that , he quickly replied "May 8th". I laughed and said Wow! That's specific! I told him I was going to mark that on my calendar. He nodded. That's been 8 years now and every May 8th I look out and I'm still amazed by answer! I miss that Ole Fella!

I just shorted a younger fella a large bag of boiled pnuts. So if you’re out there remind next time you’re in. I’m sorry!
