(gasp) It was full of pictures of june carter cash and johnny cash!!! It also had pictures of all the carters it was a speacil treat!.!.! After I got settled in i went to the musuem. It had a display of the outfits all the people wore. It also showed the money they used back then. It is nowhere near the kind we use and all the stuff was amazing. After that I went back in and listened to some good BLUEGRASS music and called it a day.

Ah........ the sweet sound of sparrows inviting all who dwells within, to come and partake in the birth of this beautiful new day. Rolling out from beneath the sheets, the cool mountain air quickly puts coffee out of the question. Dressed and ready for the day, fishing drifts into mind and suddenly, morning has been planned. With fishing caps on, poles in hand and a grown over path to follow, the two make their way to the lake. Finally, the lake is in view and evident that it is still in deep slumber. For a thick fog covers the still waters, with not a sound in the air. Time to sit down and have a break one says. As they search for some soft moss they spot a Dow and her fawn silently drinking from that crystal lake. Peace and tranquility is upon this corner of the earth. They decide to go and explore instead of disturbing that peaceful scene. To their surprise they find a quietly babbling brook that leads into a softly rolling waterfall with plenty of river stones to traverse. A roar is heard off in the distance, they look up to see a black bear up the brook a little way. Might be a good time step back and give him his space the other one says. They back off a few feet and watch this beautiful animal as he feeds.

The house is relatively secluded and the nearest highway is over five miles away. The car rolled to a slow stop as the gravel makes the very distinct crumbling sound under the tires. The door opens as the aroma of fresh fall air rushes past your faces. A big wide porch and a tall chimney is the first thing that met there eyes as they walked up the way toward the weekend retreat. A blue jay preens herself on the railing as they make their way past the threshold. One of them says that it's time to get settled in for the night and leaves to gather firewood while the sun is still out. The fire is crackling and the porch swing creeks softly. The fall colors are illuminated tenfold, as the sun slips silently under the distant mountains.

Here is a little bit about me. I have been married to my high school sweety for 35 years and we have four great kids who in turn have given us 12 (and counting)  grand-children. I enjoy music of all kinds but I especially am fond of acoustic, folk, and bluegrass. I play guitar and am learning to play the mandolin. My gear... Guitars - Taylor 510CE, Schecter hollow body electric. Both are great in worship. Mandolin - I have a brand new JBovier (mandolins.net) that I love. This is my second mando (first one was a Morgan Monroe). I am sure I will have meor to say later so for now... Keep on pickin' Wed, 19 Mar 2008 05:03:42 -0700
