Our property is like a little hidden jewel.  Our neighborhood is located within ten minutes of Waverly, in the Dry Creek Cabin Site community. This area was surveyed into approximately 60 large lots, by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1950’s and the lots were auctioned off.  The community stretches over several acres and […]

Our front entrance.

From the first time that I told Frank that I wanted to do a pergola on the back of the house, it was a battle.  I had planned since last November to have a bridal shower here for my daughter Kasie, and wanted to have it under a pergola.  Frank, in no way was in […]

It’s good to have goals.

Can you believe that half of this year has already passed us by???  I blinked twice and realized that I had not posted to my blog since last year at Christmas time.  What in the world? Frank and I have made a couple of purchases this year that has added to the fun at our […]

Half way through 2017

It was a magical […]
