I purchased this card because it raised more questions for me than it had answers. Some time I might sit and make a story that has some fictional answers to them.

Monday Marginalia – Other Asheville Houses
Solarium at the Smith McDowell House. Our trip to Asheville was to see its world renowned house – Biltmore. However while there we enjoyed two other much smaller but just as lovely in their own way. The first one is North Lodge on Oakland. The second was the Smith McDowell House. (more…)

Monday Marginalia – Congratulations to Sara!
This beautiful lady is Sara. She’s my son’s fiancee. Yep, this month he popped the question to his long term girlfriend. The marriage is in a few years. I’m getting a wonderful daughter without all the mess of raising one. But that’s not why I’m congratulating her. I’m congratulating her for graduating college. She’s now a physical therapist going on to medical school! That she worked hard for and made it! We are all so proud.

Monday Marginalia – Another Trip To Biltmore
Those who know me know I have a penchant for Biltmore House and Gardens in Asheville, NC. I have two short stories set in a house inspired by the location. I went there often on school field trips through Middle School and High School. I once held a season pass when in High School. I quit counting my visits when it was over 30. It’s no surprise moving close and with new rooms and new tour available I wanted to go back. So we took a long weekend in early November to go to Asheville. Mike patiently went with me to my kind of Disneyland. The place is one that the more I learn about it the more interesting it becomes.

Monday Marginalia – My First NFL Game
I am a football fan, particularly NFL. That finally ended on the perfect day to go to a game. The weater was great – no jacket required, but not hot. The tickets were perfect price (under $70 each). Location was perfect easy drive from our house. So on Sunday October 16th I was off to see the Tennessee Titans play the Cleveland Browns in Nashville. What follows are photos and videos of the day.

Monday Marginalia – I Love My Birdfeeder
I’ve always enjoyed birdfeeders. Unfortunately in Kenosha with our neighborhood being so crowded the feeder wasn’t that active. Here I have two – hummingbird one that was very active in Summer and seed one that’s very active now. I thought I’d share – enjoy. (more…)

Monday Marginalia – Roadtrip to the Past
One day we decided to drive over to Mike’s old stomping grounds. His family moved to Waverly, Tennessee from up north when he was in 5th grade. (Finally came to their senses left the snow). So for him it’s pretty much where he grew up. It’s not far from here and on a Sunday before football season started we drove there by back roads. Then we had lunch at the Waverly Café which is new to town since he left 33+ years ago. These are photos from the day.

Monday Marginalia – A Walk In Mimosa Cemetery
I love history and Mike enjoys it. One of the ways we’ve come to know an area we visit or live is by getting to know the local history. A way to do this is by cemetery walks with good history guides. We’ve enjoyed them in Kenosha, Burlington, Savannah, Charleston, and now here in Lawrenceburg. On October 22nd, after clipping an article from the local (twice weekly) paper, we attended on here sponsered by the library. It was excellent right there with the best. We met 10 former citizens of Lawrenceburg some great, some notable, some infamous.
