I was going to post my Memorial Day column and some old photos for y'all, but I don't have those photos on my laptop, and I'm feeling lazy as I sit here on the couch with my laptop on my stretched out legs....so instead, I'm going to take y'all with me through my day today....starting with our Memorial Day ceremony at the Boone County Courthouse here in Harrison:
Our pretty Courthouse...for each patriotic holiday, the flags are placed on the courthpark. Each flag represents one soldier or sailor from Boone County who gave his life for our country.
Our little crowd for today's ceremony on the Courtpark. Behind the people, on the left is our very neat old restored theater, the Lyric, where local plays are held, and musical guests perform. It also shows classic movies sometimes. To its right is the Daily Times office, where I work.This afternoon, Doyle and I got in our big Dodge Ram truck and drove down into our favorite part of God's country, Newton County, just south of us. Here are some snapshots from our trek:
Just driving south into Newton County, the hills get higher and the scenery wilder...
Original barbecue grill art in a Jasper backyard...
A historic cabin from pioneer days...
A rental cabin at a place we'd heard of, but never visited. We are so in love with this spot, we can't wait to rent the cabin when some of our family is visiting this summer! It sleeps six or seven, and is in the most gorgeous location on a bluff....
Right in the middle of the wild woods!

I think I could live there.
How beautiful! Thank you for sharing your day with us! Love, Gerrie
I'm just nuts about stonework...that chimney on the old cabin looks exceptionally well done. And the view from the rental must be fabulous! Maybe we'll come down and stay there sometime, IF it ever rains enough for the river to get up and floatable.
BEAUTIFUL! Your jaunts are so visually soothing. I always think about doing something similar in my posts, but then I consider all the time I'd have to put into converting the pictures into jpegs, and I can't commit. I appreciate your taking the time to show us your world. And a very pretty one it is!
Love the flags flying shot! Where is this cabin??? We stayed in a cabin in MS this year but there wasn't such a spectacular view as from this one...hmmm, maybe we'll try it next spring!
Beautiful country! I love the cabin, too. We stayed in a similar cabin in northern Ga. last fall for our 30th anniversary and loved it! I know you will too, especially with that spectacular view!!!
