Living out in the country has a lot of advantages. As a matter of fact, the country life is the life I’ve always known and loved.
But one huge disadvantage is having to deal with irresponsible hunters this time of year.
In the past, our experiences with hunters have routinely been having to remind them that our land is private and we don’t allow hunting.

Looking back to 1996 when planning the first Blooming Festival I recall about 20 of us sitting around the table hashing out details on note pads. Most of the details were hammered out face-to-face through sub-committees. All correspondence to participants was delivered through the US Mail.Fast forward to the planning of 2022 - committees have met in person, via ZOOM and even by facetime.

Dear Holly,
When did this happen?
There was the pregnancy test, the ultrasound, the awkward water-breaking moment, the hospital waiting room full of admirers, the first diapers ... and now I am supposed to believe you are 10 years old?
How did we get here so fast? And where did these gray hairs come from? Are the two things related?

I don’t remember the first time I heard the name “Coach Dean Smith,” but it had to be around 1974 when UNC beat Duke after trailing by 8 points with 17 seconds to go in the game.I remember the next year I heard it a lot. My new brother-in-law John molded me into a rabid Tar Heels fan.I remember I was about 5.

Our Congress and Senate has spent trillions of dollars we do not have. Who is going to pay for their spending? All working Americans will pay, not just the rich.
Tarp (bank bailouts) was nothing less than the government picking and choosing who fails and who succeeds. We pay.
The “Stimulus,” did you know that part of that went to pornography, some to studying mice in California and some to turtle crossings in Florida and the waste, pork and spending goes on and on. We pay.
Auto Industry bailouts, the government decided who fails and who succeeds. We pay.
