What can I say? Horsing around Jackson County is one of my favorite past-times. The trip to the little investment possibility via Crystal Creek Road enabled me to capture (figuratively) the beautiful horse outside of the large barn on my way up. The Whittier/Cherokee area is loaded with these

There are some things in life that all loving people all over the world can agree upon. Nothing has universal appeal like the open faced unconditional acceptance freely given by seven month old puppies! Amidst the chaos of the Heritage Day Festival in Cullowhee, North Carolina last weekend, sa

Sometimes I can't believe our good fortune to live and work in these mountains of Western North Carolina. Most people have never heard of little known Fines Creek in Waynesville and I suppose some of the neighbors there are just fine with that. I'd heard of it of course, but had never had the

It’s not a dirty little secret or anything, but cultural diversity in the mountains of Western North Carolina isn’t talked about much. It used to be that there just wasn’t much diversity to talk about! I grew up in Detroit, San Diego, Albuquerque and Farmington so I’d been exposed to all kinds

Today we have liquid sunshine all day but thank goodness the weather forecast for Saturday looks like perfect mountain autumn weather and there's stuff to do. The next few days is certainly one of the best times to be in the mountains of Western North Carolina and enjoy the array of outdoor acti

To say I was scared is an exaggeration. To all sellers of tenant occupied properties, you should know I tried to show your house but your tenants made it impossible. The showing instructions were 24 hour advance notice, knock and show. I’d shown seven houses near downtown Waynesville. One pro
