It’s Fall Here

Oh, it is beautiful here.  The trees have all turned on the hills and the pine needles make everything smell so good.
We tried to get a lot accomplished today.  We went through boxes and the Butcher got the car in the garage.  I did laundry, finished unpacking, and cut out a bunch of privet and [...]

To Brighten the Mood Around Here

Look at this.

What Makes a Democrat?

I’ve come to believe that the biggest problem facing Tennessee Democrats is that…
