October’s over. Done! Finished. In my rearview mirror–I used to say that about wanting to leave Mendota…when I was very young and very STUPID, I told my friends…”I can’t wait until Mendota is in my rear view mirror.” When I turned 35, I began pleading to come back here. Gasp…I actually ached to return here. It’s a mountain thing….a Poor Valley thing…hard to articulate but easy to feel. At any rate, my dream came true. I live where I love and love where I live.
Here’s my favorite blog picture from the month of October. Mr. Burley, we still miss you.
My favorite quote during the month of October came from my sister, Pat. She posted a picture of a barn–she’s like me…barn crazy– with this quote. I don’t know whether she dreamed it up or read it but here it is:
“I’m not Southern. I’m Appalachian.”
Finally, because I don’t have anything else to put in this spot, here is a picture of me that Mike took this morning. He’s not much of a picture taker, so there are not that many pictures of me. I’m completely askew!!
I hope we all have a great November!
Nice picture, you’re still beautiful…still crazy?
Judi…I’ve never been beautiful, but always been crazy! Hey…did you get my note about the 5 x 7?
Still loving your post. yes, u do get some things done…I will never catch up…My hubby retired in July so that was another beginning for us!!! Thanks for the kind words for my cat…She was a stray & was so loveable!!!We r having so much trouble with hunters on our property…NOt a Happy camper right now but with the love Of God I know I will get through this…got to get some hemming done for Hubby’s jeans..he has run out of old clothes because he wears them more now…so had to buy new jeans (cheap) for everyday clothes now….Make sense)???keep your post coming…I look forward to reading them….Deb
Debbie…Most hunters are responsible but the one or two that are not really ruin things. We went up and posted everything just last week. There are yellow signs everywhere, but if they’re not read or observed, it gets a little sticky, doesn’t it. I love my cats, and every cat is special. I just hate it for you. So your husband retired? I found that Mike really wanted to pal around with me, but I was used to going solo most of the time! We’ve sort of struck a rhythm now. I also understand about the “old clothes”….they need more jeans, tee shirts, etc. Just like kids! Thank you Dear Friend From Across the Mountain for visiting!
