Pictures of home

[Nixy]

Where do you consider yourself to be from? I grew up in Ontario but I am from Newfoundland. I was born there and I was raised with the values from there.

Some pics of my home

Doesn't that make her some odd cross breed between a Moose, a Sheep and Bigfoot?

Not my work, but a few of my town:

What's with the square hill?

 

[HomeLAN]

That's a burial mound for the Indian tribes that used to live around here. That's simply how they made 'em. There's a whole network of those about 20 miles north of me, and that's where that shot came from.

With a stair leading to the top ....


so, it's a tourist attraction to go and walk over someone's grave???

 

[HomeLAN]

Actually, I misspoke. Not burial mounds, but integral parts of those folks' homes. Links for more:

I've been a Tennessee boy all my life. Strayed into the middle part of the state for college and too many years beyond. Now I'm back where I belong, and ain't nothin' gonna get me away ever again!

I haven't any decent photos of my own available. Our home sits literally across the road from the Appalachians, we have a stunning view right from the front porch. These are some shots of my county though...enjoy!

Oops, used wrong button, meant to do just the links. Sorry. Chalk it up to rookie mistakes and postpone the beheading, please.

Looks a whole lot like the northern hills of GA, maybe just a tad steeper. Pretty country.

 

[Professur]

That red brick house. I so want that.

Lan, how far are you from Raybun County? I would really like to go there someday and tour the Foxfire facilities and surrounding area.

The spouse and I have considered a weekend jaunt to either Raybun County or Helen Georgia. Also, we thought about going to Chattanooga and then down into some places in extreme north GA...very beautiful area. Any suggestions?

One final thing...thank you so much for the Stone Mountain shot. It's a travesty that the monument itself is no longer part of the guided tour. When we start bending to the pressure and denying our own history, we can start the death clock ticking on our very culture.

while not native born, this is where i last called home.

You really should consider a maid service. Ick.

You really should consider a maid service. Ick.

dat just da outside, we got an inside, yeah.

 

[Professur]

Seriously? That's worse. At least if it was inside, it would be limited by 4 walls. (You do use all four walls there, don't you?)

How many rolls of toilet paper did you use to make that mess? And how long has it been there. Looks like way too long.

 

[tonksy]

well at least my mess is warm with well flavored food

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Pretty, but flat. If it ain't got a mountain I ain't stayin' long.

I have family in central FLA...Lake Alfred area. They get gators in the back yard and water moccasins in the house. Any similar problems in your neck of the swamp?
