Zzzz's, Walk on, Monster, Columbia, Halloween, Charlotte TN,

 Wed. night bedtime.

Lily beat me to the Zzzz's!

Look at the paw all stretched

out.

Wow, how does she get all

twisted up like that?

Laying on her side, but when you

get the head, its tucked and 

turned up with an out 

stretched paw.

ADORABLE!!!

BUT, just sitting on the couch, 

legs bent and tucked up next to 

me is hard enough to uncurl from!

Leaving the house the 

other day when I looked

over and saw movement on 

my purse.

 

Scared the crap out of me.

I thought at first, spider, cause

that is what I always think.

I have been painting up brick

books as you know,

Cory's favorite book will be 

added to my garden.

Sure not mailing it to San Diego.

I mailed out the paintings that

were requested and was shocked

at the cost. One canvas to Sparta Tn. 2.5,

hours down the road and it cost

$8.15 but to mail four canvas

to NC cost almost 12 bucks.

Weight, I knew it would cost

more but I thought it would 

be a lot more than it was to 

Sparta....SO, not mailing a brick.

Another rock for my soon

to be new rock bed.

I also picked up one

on my travels with my camera

yesterday. WOW.....the place

I went. 

I will be sharing that soon.

Last yr I went all out on 

my porch and yard for Halloween,

this yr., I cut back on all that.

I had mini brooms and 

witch hats on one side. This 

yr. I have ghost and witch

hats. 

And ....my Whimsical Woman.

Last yr. I had these

skeletons sitting with a spider wed in 

the corner of the porch.

This yr. One is on the trike and

one hanging. Please, over look

the weeding. My weed whacker, died.

haha...

Life at tne end of a season.

Have you decorative outside?

What is your theme?

Witches, skeletons, ghost?

Do you have trick or treaters?

On my way home from 

Cumberland Furnace I had

to go through Charlotte.

This is where my oldest

grandson and kids live. I 

hate last min stop ins, so

no, I did not swing by. 

I have photographed this 

little town before also.

But I did catch a few

snaps as I wandered through.

This house is on one side

of the square and I realized

that I never shot it before.

Too plain Jane looking for me 

I guess. 

But then I noticed a sign out 

front so it must be of importance.

At that point, I took a snap

of it so I could remember to look it

up once I had my pics on the computer.

Here is what I found~

The Voorhies-James House 

and Store, ca. 1806: Jacob Voorhies 

purchased the property in 1831 for his

 mercantile business, and established the 

first school for classical studies, the Tracey 

Academy. Voorhies also served in 

the Tennessee State Senate.

I saw this place a couple roads over,

again, snapped a pic so that I 

could look it up when I returned

home.

Interesting part, finding nothing.

Sent Caleb's GF a message since they

live there. 

In Charlotte I saw this

house sitting up on the 

hill, first thought, glad I 

don't have to cut that front hill.

2nd thought, reminded me of 

the house in 

Miracle on 34th Street

(the one from the 1947) version,

my favorite).

Oh, I love a tire swing.

No real trees in the yard, except

the woods to put one, but I thought

about hanging one from a permeant 

made stand.

While heading out of Charlotte 

I decided to venture up into the 

cemetery. Its small on the road goes up 

one side, around and down. I should have stopped

but I was ready to call it a day.

But the older markers alway

get my attention.

 

How old is this place, the 

marker above states this guy

died in 1866! Amazing, he was 85,

most folks back in that time line

did not live that long.

Moing on from oldest to 

old. As I was pulling out of the

cemetery to head my way, this

guy came by.

Love this.

Being it appears this 

post was going to go on and on,

I am closing for now.

Later gater,

Pam
