LOVE and Franklin NC
~LOVE~
I have been working on
upping my game on
photographing at the
venue.
This is one of those new props.
The letters can be removed cause
they are only attached with mini
clothes pins.
I have it on extra long string
so that I can hang on a
narrow space or a larger
space.
Thinking the back of the cab
of the truck,
between to trees...etc.
The other day Cindy over
at
https://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/
mentioned in her blog that
she liked going to Franklin NC.
I told her then that I had
been there a few times
with my sis in law visiting
her parents.
My sis in law, Lori's mom
was from Franklin NC.
She was an author.
Her book was written about
her grandmother and how
she came to live on the
mountain in Franklin NC.
I really enjoyed reading that book
and learning about Eva's grandmother, Lucy.
Later, I visited and was
taken to the church in
the book and Lucy's grave.
There is actually one more
book that followed the
children of Lucy's.
The books go in this
order.
The Edge of Heaven
Children of the Mountain
Amazon has both for 4.99
if you are interested.
I have signed copies.
Lori lost her dad a few
years before Eva. Eva left this world
just a couple of years before
my mom.
I loved both George and Eva
but I will tell you, George
held a special place in my
heart. We were always
joking around and on a
cruise he introduced me
as his daughter.
I have been down the Panama
Canal and was honored
to be able to do it with
Eva and George.
Going down the canal looking
out to the banks, George pointed
out a base that was held
military, where he served
some time.
This is Eva and I in Cozumel Mx.
My sis in law and I.
George, me and Eva.
And this is Lori, me and George's
two sisters.
As you can tell the curse
was before I stopped
dying my hair.
I did not stop that till
2008 and this was taken
in 2006.
I do have pics (you knew I did)
of the church taken with
a small digital camera, however
that was so long ago I
will need to go to the
office, hook up the older
drive and locate them.
Have to come in another
post!
On one of my trips to Franklin, NC
I also met another author by
the name of
Londa L. Woody
This is also signed.
If you have never driven
in the mountains of
Franklin NC then I suggest
if you are around that way,
take a ride around.
There is a road that actually
travels under a waterfall
as you travel up the
mountain to a place
called the Highlands.
Its called the Bridal Veil
Falls.
Highlands is a neat little
place at the top of the mt.
Lots of artist and authors
I am told
lives up there.
Lori's brother took us up
to a spot on the mt. one evening,
Wayah Bald Lookout.
It was so dark and you could
look out off the mountain to
all the lights below.
Pretty cool.
Her brother also did a lot of
Ruby hunting up on the
mountains around Franklin.
He found a lot and had things
made for his wife.
That is totally cool.
Here is a good video about
Ruby hunting

Anyway, Cindy I wanted to share some
of my adventures in
Franklin NC.
