    Carly Simon is not 71. No way. She will always be in her 30s in my mind. :) My claim to fame with Carly Simon is that I slept in the same bed as her one time. Unfortunately, she wasn't in the bed at the time, but still, I slept in her bed. One of the relatives of James Taylor owned a cabin...

    Seemingly insignificant things that connect you to the past

    It's funny how some seemingly insignificant things can connect you to the past. The first photo is my Mother sitting at the table at our old house at Oak Hill School feeding me as a baby. I still have the little silver cup, porringer, and spoon she's using to feed me with. But look closely at...

    Show us your vintage home!

    So you want to live the vintage life in a vintage home? You see that stuff on the bedroom windows? That's ice and its on the INSIDE. This morning it was a balmy 27 degrees inside the bedroom. There's no heat upstairs in my old house, so this is somewhat of a normal occurrence during the...

    What are you wearing today??

    It was a little bit cool on the way out the door headed to church this morning. It's been so unseasonably warm so far this winter today was the first day we need a coat.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today was a good day to get out and take a hike, and to wear the new Spanish-American War era campaign hat I got for Christmas.

    It was such a nice day today my granddaughter and I took the old '48 Plymouth out for a ride. We ended up going on a hike out to the lake, followed by a picnic.

    Congratulations! It seems like only yesterday my children were newborns. Time passes so fast. Make every second count!

    Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!

    Took a hike today to Lake James. After all the rain we've been having, the water level is way up from normal. I also got a chance to wear my new hat today.

    What did 1910's-20's hikers/climbers brought or wore?

    Here are several old photos of the "common man" hiking/rock climbing. There were taken by my great uncle, Briscoe Brown in August, 1928. He and some of his friends were hiking and climbing on Table Rock here in western NC. I've hiked and climbed this exact same spot many, many times (it's...

    Everyone made it home for Christmas this year. It seems like it's getting harder and harder for all the children, their spouses, and all the grandchildren to get together at the same place and at the same time. My two sons, one of my daughters, and both of my daughters-in-law work in the...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Not the greatest photo, but it's all I've got right now. This was my Christmas present. I wanted a new hat to wear in the woods on hikes, etc. and this one should fit the bill nicely. It's a copy of a Spanish-American War era campaign hat. I have an old photo of my Grandfather, who was in...

    The Sunday Drive

    After church today, I decided to take the old '48 Plymouth out for a Sunday afternoon drive. The weather is so unusually warm for this time of year, that we had the windows down and the cowel vent open. We drove about 30 miles around the back side of Lake James, passing by where my 4X great...
