When I bought it, there were already several tomatoes on it. I'm thinking I should add a little fertilizer this week!<BR/><BR/>KelliKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959889019639336499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-80044709117796662622007-05-15T07:38:00.000-05:002007-05-15T07:38:00.000-05:00How cute...Bucksnort!

After several years living in Nashville, I moved back to the East Hickman area. The villages of Bon Aqua, Lyles and Wrigley kind of run together to comprise East Hickman... which I refer to as a "state of mind."<BR/><BR/>I am also a Methodist, but I elect to make the 40 mile drive into Nashville to be part of a congregation that is a good fit for me.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank you for "getting it"! There are lots of folks in this area that don't have many material "belongings", but they are very rich in other ways (family, community, nature, etc.). Most folks from other parts of the country (or state) just don't understand or appreciate that there can be more to life than material wealth, and that happiness and contentment comes in many forms.<BR/><BR/>I have alway had a special appreciation for people that move into this area and "fit in". I know it can't be easy. I am sorry our paths never crossed while you were a neighbor!<BR/><BR/>TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-46025107343263713392007-05-11T22:47:00.000-05:002007-05-11T22:47:00.000-05:00I lived in Knoxville for almost 7 years and never ...I lived in Knoxville for almost 7 years and never did find a "niche". I suppose it was to many years in a military town. No matter how hard I tired I was always an "outsider" When people would ask me "where are you from" I would tell them Knoxville/Maryville,and they would look at me llke I had two heads and say Where are you REALLY from, to which I would reply Virginia Beach....They then looked at me as if the third head grew and said..Oh well that isn't the south..I would never argue, but quietly thought to myself that I was "southern". After all Richmond was the capital of the confederacy, and the last time I look I grew up South of there..<BR/>I know what you mean though about having to adjust to where you live. Most places have people that are set in there ways (as I learned those years in TN). I was glad to get back to VA, but have had lots of people tell me that they don't like it here because they don't feel like the people are friendly. I suppose like anything it is just what you get use to.<BR/>(PS...I love the area there, it is beautiful and I would love to go back and visit someday)Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840399136320094652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-81102690858576942602007-05-11T21:23:00.000-05:002007-05-11T21:23:00.000-05:00I just wanted to stop by and say a very HAPPY MOTH...I just wanted to stop by and say a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WISH FOR YOU. connie from TexasTO BECOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358989235076877037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724182.post-87200203154653895032007-05-11T19:58:00.000-05:002007-05-11T19:58:00.000-05:00Gal..
