I have had three wonderful weekends in Blacksburg this month and after it all, I've come to terms with the fact that I don't live there anymore. While I am making this transition to TN I have to remember I can't ponder the "why/why nots" and the "what if's" that remain unanswered or else I might go batty. Right now I am really excited to be moving into a new place - a remodeled farmhouse - with a view of Douglas Lake and the Smoky Mountains. The kittytoms are happy so far as they have been monkeying around the barn trying to hunt mice and eat their heads off. I haven't spent much time in my little town, Dandridge, yet, but if you shut your eyes and count to five while driving through it you will miss it. There is an historic area, a Subway sandwich shoppe, and the nearest Target/Walmart is 30 miles away. The lake abutts town, and is held back by an earthen dyke (not concrete). It is pretty amazing and scary to think about what could happen to my little town if the dyke broke or a terrorist drilled a hole through it. There are plenty of churches near my house and since I live at the top of a hill, all God's children's prayers pass me on there way up to Him, and that makes me feel safe. I have much to write about work but I am out of time for tonight. I have to hop in the car and head to Chattanooga!
