Been a long time between posts. Everyone here has been preparing for the Fair. They did a fine job preparing their animals. Ann was up before work every day and the girls helped with afternoon feedings. I do so enjoy seeing them growing up here. Read Ann's blog for pictures and a great description of their busy but fun weekend.
Gene was alot of help to them and he enjoyed seeing them...even when it required "cow duties"!
This week we hope to settle down a bit and concentrate on school...yes, school work.
Charlie and Maggie are slowly but surely getting along better. She at least now has someone to play with. The kittens are doing well. Brittain has yet to convince them to leave home for the barn. I have enjoyed watching them grow.
Am getting ready for my chair caning display at the Biltmore this weekend. I hope it all goes smoothly.
Will have some pictures after the event. They have a fun weekend planned at the winery and Barn.

Cherokee Lesson 9-4-08
May we all remember to always feed the right wolf.
"An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life."A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy."It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."The grandson was quiet for a moment and then asked his grandfather, " If I have the wolves inside me as well, which wolf will win?"The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Tuesday all day
9-2-08 We had a great Labor Day....not much going on. We traveled across the mountains to Gatlinburg on sunday...we were surprised at the amount of people still traveling. There was an old car show there so Gene loved it especially. Monday we had a cookout here but had to eat indoors due to the uncertain weather. The storms are sure kicking up around the country...hope Gustav does not do too much harm down Narlins' way..
Baby Graham got to come home...he sure is a beautiful baby! I know his parents and grand-parents are proud of him. I can not wait to give him a BIG bear hug when I get to see him.
Ann and the girls are "training" their cows and sheep for the upcoming fair. Hope the storms do not come and wash it away!
Happy Belated Labor Day to everyone!
