It is the 4th of July. Here in Brevard, we have quite a celebration. There are 5K and 10K races, a festival downtown with booths of all sorts, and a good fireworks display after dark. It's always hot, fun, and worth the time. Not bad for a small town in NC.
I just booked airline tickdts for Boston for the end of the month. I can't wait to go see my sister in Rutland, MA. She works there on a Heifer International Educational Farm as the livestock manager. We will be staying on the farm for a week. We will volunteer and help her get her chores done each day, so I'm packing my good ol' Muck Boots. We will also go into Boston and other places around there. I know that we are going into Vermont to the Morgan Horse Association headquarters. I haven't been to Vermont before and hear that it is beautiful. Good thing it is summer. This southern girl would be a popsicle.
Enjoy your day. I am feeling great, and can't wait to get out there and see friends, hear music, and celebrate being an American!
When I was a little kid, I used to spend time in Eastern North Carolina on my grandparents farm. There was a sandy road that I walked to my cousins' house. On that road was an old, faded, sign that read "Snipper Snapper Hole". I don't know why, but I just love the sound of that. I guess it is in the percussion of the words and in the memories they hold.
About Me
- Beth
- I am the mom of a 17 year old, a 14 year old, and I am a 4th grade teacher. I live in a beautiful area of Western North Carolina and can be found outside as much as possible. I have 2 big dogs. Sam is a yellow lab, and Maggie is a mostly doberman. I also have a crazy cat named Daisy, who is definately the queen of the house. As well as 3 other furry felines. My favorite place away from home is the riding ring where I ride horses and you can find me there as often as I can possibly make it happen. There is nothing like a horse.
