If a picture's worth a Thousand words, then I'm a Millionair~
Today I wanted to post some pictures of my surrounding area, and just how awesome/beautiful it *really* is. I will start with my area, then a few pictures from Ghost Town in the Sky, and move on to some from Cherokee. Ending up at The Biltmore House., so enjoy MY views.

First of all, I hope everyone had a great and safe 4th of July. Since this is Sunday, and I was unable to post last evening, I've decided to post a video, and below PLEASE read, as I have some words, that perhaps might *sink* in. Maybe although in my minds eye, probably will swoop over somes head.

So as above, is a video that should (but won't) *stop* the attacking on hillbillies and rednecks, as Shadow likes to refer to himself.
So below, is a picture that is used in reference to us, for apparently living in the South. Which I might add, are several here on Blogstream. I really like the picture, as it does look like some people who were *born* and raised in ALL the towns in the South, and I must add we've lived here on and off, but in total, it's been 13 years, and don't have any plans to leave the *beautiful* mountains. So here's the picture, that, I guess, is suppose to hurt our feelings in which ever way it was tended. Sorry about your luck, cuz the South, especially, is SO beautiful in ALL 4 seasons.
Now I would like to post some really great blogs, for when some are not having to defend themselves, have very informative, thought provoking, words of wisdom, as well as news stories that are interesting to read. This is not only for those who post videos on Fridays and Saturdays, but great posts ALL through the week.
Life is to short, grudges are a waste of perfect
happiness laugh when you can apologize
when you should and let go of what you can't change. give everything an have no regrets life is
too short to be unhappy you have to take the
good with the bad smile when you're sad love what you got and always forgive but never forget learn from your
mistakes but never regret people change, and things go wrong but always
remember LIFE GOES ON!!!!
Today I spent All day sitting in a courtroom. Hard benches, but air conditioned.
It had to do with the story I had posted on recently, about our friend who was attacked while in jail. Only it was the guy who beat him who was in court today, for prior charges. This guy has been in jail for 2 months and was in court for a bond reduction, as it's still 25.000. Bad day for him though, as he sent a letter to one of my family members.
In that letter he said he was the *Devil* and when he got out he was going to finish the guy he attacked in jail. he also mentioned 2 of my sons name, in that he would them both in the hospital. WELL, WELL, WELL, I took that letter to the clerks office, they copied it each page, both fromt and back. when they brought him out in his pretty orange outfit.
With, I might add, the anticipation of finally being released. The papers were pulled out and given to the judge, The judge looked at him and said what the papers were. Then he said it what brought to the court today, and from where I was sitting, I saw his face go from smiles to a big ol frown. As he turned around to see who was in court, I smiled and gave just a little wave, and grin. Then he was escorted right back to his home until his next court date.
