Homemade fudge was one of her specialties.  She made it in an iron skillet.  Once the butter, sugar, chocolate, and

		<description><![CDATA[On top of old Smoky is Newfound Gap.  From this lookout point, on US  Route 441,  you can see North Carolina and Tennessee.  Rte. 441 is the main highway through the Smokies.  From Dolly Parton's hometown of Sevierville, TN to Cherokee, NC it is the only highway, and it is a long and winding one. Millions of people travel this road every year, as they enjoy the scenic beauty of The Great Smoky Mountains.

It was on this road that we were driving on the 4th of July weekend.

		<description><![CDATA[I am not a fan of Hillary Clinton, but I must agree with what she said about  "It takes a village to raise a child".  I've come to realize the truth to this statement as I have reflected on all the people in my life who helped to raise me.  My parents, of course, but so many more people impacted my life, and helped to shape and develop my personality, spirituality, goals and dreams, and all other aspects of my life. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homespunhighlights.wordpress.com&amp;blog=820842&amp;post=254&amp;subd=homespunhighlights&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

She turned to the closet to get her clothes, and noticed shoes on the floor that didn't match any that belonged to her, plus they had feet in them!  Screaming, while grabbing at the hangers to unveil the intruder, she came face-to-face with Donnie.  This was the launch of the prankster war among the youth at Knox County Lodge.

		<description><![CDATA[The attic of our house on the farm had a window at each end.  These windows served as lookouts for the comings and goings in and out of our long driveway.  I wasn't old enough to date yet, but Donna was.  I was a brat!  Running up to the attic to watch for her date to arrive was great fun.  I would holler down the steps to her, "Donna, your prince charming is coming!", or "Your pimply faced boyfriend is on his way up here to give you a big kiss, with his bad breath."   Mother would be stifling her laughter as she reprimanded me, which only spurred me on.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homespunhighlights.wordpress.com&amp;blog=820842&amp;post=231&amp;subd=homespunhighlights&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dating a Payne girl was not a venture for the faint of heart.  It took guts and considerable courage to ask us out.  The beginning of the dates didn’t always start as badly as my last post, nor did the endings, but there were enough red letter ones to merit attention.  There were plenty of rules to abide by, curfews to be kept, and judgment days to face in our dating years, but in these two instances the tables were turned.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homespunhighlights.wordpress.com&amp;blog=820842&amp;post=224&amp;subd=homespunhighlights&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
