Kickin' back, musing, observing, and gathering inspiration from the hills of East Tennessee.

At the Top; Virginia
Finally our struggle paid off -- we made it to the top of the ridge. On the other side of our ridge is Lee County in the state of Virginia. (We live in Tennessee.) Many "no hunting" signs remained on the trees where Doug posted them last year, but some have to be replaced.
Actually, I always feel great the day after a hike like that. I think it stretches my stiff muscles out! We are closest to Jonesville. We bought our tractor there. I go to Pennington Gap to the Lee Regional Hospital for a yearly medical test. We also love a Mexican restaurant that is in Pennington Gap.
Rabbits cookin' coffee -- that's what the locals call it. But here in this little hollow in East Tennessee, when the hills surrender their misty hostage to reveal the stalwart cedars growing by the stream in our pasture, I know there is no place on earth I would rather be. The welcome mat is out! Come and sit on the porch and chat with me awhile!
Man Aleta---You are just a hop and a skip away from my hometown.. Are you closer to Ewing, Rose Hill or Jonesville?????

Hugs,
Betsy
