I'm Back AtThe Farm

I'm back at the farm and here are some updates at the farm.  First of all it is cold.  Now some may say cool but I say cold especially since I have been in Southern California and Floida for well over a month.  It was 51 degrees when we got home last night and so was the inside of the RV but once we got the heat on it warmed up pretty quick.  Second, there is sickness here on the farm.  I guess it started with George getting sick over Thanksgiving who in turn gave it to Lisa.  Needles to say, we are glad to see them but we will be keeping our distance just to make sure those sick germs are gone. Third, I have a new neighbor, which I have reported on, but seeing it is different; Welcome Travis!  It is good to be home and I have a lot to do which I will get to after I go bowling today!  I am back at the farm!

What A Great Day

I had a wonderful Birthday and I want to thank my family for making it such a nice one.  Being greeted with "Happy Birthday Gammie" started the day off right and it just got better from there.  I also appreciated all the cards and social media greetings I received from family and friends.  It really humbles you when you see so wishes and greetings and so with that and simply say Thank You!  I actually had two birthday celebrations. One with Carrie and Daniel (they had plans on Monday) on Sunday night and one with Jenny, Nate and Rory last night.  I received some great things from my family and I love them all; thank you.  Today we head back to the farm and it looks like some cold weather.  I think I will leave my summer clothing here in Florida since I will be returning in a couple of weeks.  Thanks Jenny and Nate, Rory, Carrie and Daniel.  I will miss you but will see you soon!

Short & Quick

Today is my Birthday and in honor of it I am just going to give a brief update of the show and when we did it. First Salted By Jen did great and I am one happy and proud mom!  Way to go Jen!

Wow, Wow, Wow!

The show went great yesterday and Salted By Jen did very well.  It was busy!!!  We were non stop for  the first 5 hours and we couldn't even stop to take a breath!  Once again I want to thank my friends for coming by and saying Hi!  Your support for Jen is appreciated.  If you are interested in her merchandise please check out saltedbyjen.com!  Time to begin the final day of the show!

A Busy Day Away From The Farm

It was a busy day for me but not at the farm.  I am down in the Jacksonville area helping my daughter Jenny with her first big show.  The Vintage Market Days are going on and it is a huge show.  Yesterday was good and we are hoping today will be even better.  Check back tomorrow for a progress report!

Update On The Wildfires

I am not sure what has been happening on the farm lately so instead of talking about the farm I figure I would give an update on wild fires in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area.  There are now 11 people dead from the fires and still several missing.  The various departments from our government are out searching every house to find survivors. Starting tomorrow for a specific time the residents, renters and business owners  will be allowed to return to their property and check it out.  I am sure there will be more bodies found, so sad, and more property damage but the people of Tennessee are hardy folks that will clean up and rebuild and not expect a ton of handouts to do so.  Thank you to all the firefighters and police and volunteers that are helping with all that has gone on over the past few days.  Pray for Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Finding Chinese Food In Eastern Tennessee

Coming from an area where Chinese food was abundant we have now been with out it for two years in Parrottsville.  Even in Newport and Greeneville it is had to find.  This is new to us because there seems to be Chinese food places everywhere in the Jacksonville area and all over during our travels.  It is not quite fair to say we do not have any Chinese food places in Newport or Greeneville because there is a place in each town.  Both are buffets and in fairness we did hear that the Greeneville place was actually good.  The Newport Chinese Buffet may be good but since we never see any cars in the parking lot we are a little afraid to try it.  Lisa and Travis decided to be adventurous and they tried the China Buffet in Greeneville.  They said it was very good and reasonably priced for a Chinese buffet. The best part is neither on got sick so we know we can now go for Chinese food in Greeneville!
