Sites in Old Hickory TN

 
Old Hickory TN.
Once known as Jacksonville.
 
Name changed to Old Hickory
after the 7th president of the
U.S., Andrew Jackson
(nickname Old Hickory).
 
Est. in 1918 when the DuPont Company
was built to manufacture gun
powder for the war.
 
Only to have DuPont close down in
Nov. 1918 and the town
fall to disrepair.
 
DuPont returned in 1923 and
Old Hickory began to
grow.
 
A cute little town just outside
of Nashville.
 






 
The gym from the high school
that survived a fire.
I actually took gym in this building.
My daughter sometimes practiced
cheerleading here when the weather
was bad. My son took gym here while
attending the middle school as
well as my grandson that now
attends that same middle school.












 
I would love to see these buildings
come back
to life.
 
Thank you for
stopping in,
Pam

Seasonal Changes with Lily, Moods, Snuggle Bunny, Blue Tail Skink gets out Alive

 Seasonal changes are coming,  moving in slowly as always,  but coming.  Leaves are falling, not since fall is close but cause we  are so freak'n dry. Got a little rain shower on Wed. but, it did not even register in my rain gauge.    Spider webs are thick, grass is  crunchy, flowers are giving up  the fight, and Lily is doing her seasonal behavior as fall moves in. What would that be? She has started the curling up  behind my knee sort of  thing again and  wanting to be close. Not on me,  not in my lap, but close to me. This starts taking place every year around this time. Not only has that started, I think  she knows that time changes at some point. This week, she started waking me at 4. What she don't understand, it is not bouncing forward, so 4 will not be 5.... LILY, get with the program! haha.. Actually, I think the early rise has to do with me.  You see, with me having been  suffering the last 2.5 mon...

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...
