Liberty Hill School is located in Tennessee’s Fall Creek Falls State Park. I think it now serves as a museum for the area. The door was locked; so I wasn’t able to go inside. I’d love to know all about this building. When was it built? When was the last time it was used as … Continue reading
This quote is a controversial one because the author isn’t known for sure. It is attributed to Picasso most often. Regardless of who originally made the statement, I think it says much about life. You are a lucky person if you find that something that is your special gift and are even more lucky when … Continue reading
This old barn in all its’ faded glory may have seen better days; but it is still standing in this Tennessee field. I’m not sure why; but my eye is always caught by old barns. I find it interesting that there is a tractor stored on the side section where there’s just enough roof left … Continue reading

Texas When we moved to this part of Texas two years ago, I thought I was finished with extreme winter weather. Our first winter was very mild; but this winter has been a surprise. We’ve had snow – just a dusting; but snow. And we’ve had icy roads several times. However, nothing prepared me for … Continue reading
