What a Time

Papa and I headed south last Friday morning, and ended up in Wilmington, Ohio. Joe Mullins and his family hosted the Southern Ohio Indoor Music Festival, a great destination for bluegrass fans.  I am ever so glad we made the trip. On December 12, 2006, I made a post about the death of Dempsey Young. … Read more

Summertown Road at the Kentuckians of Michigan, March 20, 2009

The Wall

I put two coats of paint on the stairs, while the paint dried, I wrote some posts for my Belle’s Box series over on Granny’s Genealogy. Then, it was outside to paint the new trim, which will go in the living … Read more
