The 3 day breast cancer 60 mile/3day walk is a mere 5 months out. I have reached 70% of my finacial goal! Whoo-hoo. (http://www.the3day.org/goto/cindymedwards) and my Sunday hikes, with pictures to share, have now turned into Sunday walks..I'll still share pictures
Along my walk there are several farms. The one that makes me laugh quite often is the one that has the large covert going underneath the road splitting a farm in half. The cows use this covert to pass from side to side.
I hope you enjoyed this!
My brothers thought I had lost my mind. How dare I send my child to a year round school!? Well, it was the best 6 years of school Rachel has had to date. Year round schools are terrific. They are not as bad as they sound. School starts in mid-July. ( In this area of the country) and goes for 9 weeks where the children then get a 3 week fall break. First off, what a great time to vacation, better then that is the fact that children NEED a break. I think sometimes adults feel we are the only ones that stress and need down time. Not so, when the kids come back from this break, they are refreshed and ready to commence school work. And they don't need a week to get back into it, they are ready. They also have a week Thanksgiving break, extended Christmas/holiday break and 3 week spring break. Their summer break is also extended (6 weeks) and when they come back to their rising grade-they are once again ready to dig in. It doesn't take a week to re-adjust to school. Johnson City has 1 year round elementary school and the rest are traditional. The year round program has proven to be so popular, there is a waiting list to get in if you do not live in the district. Please feel free to email me questions about this program. I'm a huge fan!
I've already bragged for months about the beauty of this area. ( See my blogs below) Now come on over to our side and buy some land. We have several large tracts in the area available. I have 16 acres with 3 barns (one set up for 12 horses) and a mobile home for $185,000.00 That's a great deal! I also have 23 acres in Unicoi (see my website for more info on both: www.cindyedwards.com Creeks and streams, water shed and stone house on property (needs work) Mountain views-gorgeous! $300,000.00 That is just a sampling!
Bays Mountain is a 3,550 acre outdoor playground. Home to Otters, deer, bobcats, wild turkeys, beaver dams wolf habitat and a cave system. It has 27 miles of hiking trails that weave around the park up in the mountains and around the lake. It has a learning center and a planetarium. There are barge rides, and duck watching. Up-close views of falcons, owls, snakes and turtles. Perfect for an afternoon with family. A great place to picnic and enjoy the beauty of the area. Check out their website at www.baysmountain.com
Just another perk to living in Northeast Tennessee!
I did a blog yesterday on the hiking at Laurel Falls. This is a follow up. The beauty of the area is just unbelievable. I thought this picture was especially nice. It captures the essence of the moment. This is taken on the lower part of the falls. It is cold enough that the ice is still in the creeks and warm enough to hike in t-shirts. Doesn't get any better then this.
