In case anyone is wondering what happened to me yesterday, it was too cold!
Our little ol’ cabin is drafty and the floors get really cold, especially where I have the computer. Yesterday morning started out at 5 degrees and warmed up to 20, which would’ve been fine, except for the wind…it found every crack in the house!
Our little cabin (under re-construction)
So, we sat by the stove and read books and watched old westerns yesterday. 
Today started out a little warmer…11 degrees.
As cold as it is here, though, I know it’s a lot colder and snowy up North and I really feel for all of you up there. Hope it warms up for you all soon.
Well, my feet are freezing again, so I’m off to sit by the stove for a while. Later on, when it warms up some, I’ll post them some free e-books I found.
Stay warm,Denese

Another sunny morning, but it sure is cold! It’s supposed to get colder and snowy starting tonight, so we are making today our library day…for both of them!
It wasn’t easy, but I found a couple pictures of my husband. If you want to take a look-see, they’re on my Family Album page. I’d like to set it up a little differently but it will do for now.
I can cross one thing off my list!
Blessings,Denese

It’s a beautiful morning here in the Pawpaw Holler, they’re hollerin’ for snow but the sun is out and the clouds are almost gone!
I’m still moving links off my old blog and trying to get back to regular posting. It has calmed down around here and we’re getting back on schedule, so maybe I can get caught up.
Some things I have planned to do this week:
1. Upload a picture of my husband, Lacy (if I can find one that won’t scare everyone…he is an ol’ mountain man you know).
2. Add a calendar for Townsend TN and Great Smoky Mountains free events and activities.
3. Make a photo gallery page for our nature pictures.
4. Move more free resources links, all of the Old Hermit’s sayings and my recipes off my old blog.
5. Re-do my pages.
6. Post some free resources everyday.
I’ll have some freebies for you all later.
Blessings,Denese

Good mornin’ all!
We had a busy weekend up here in the holler: repairing flood damage to our roads, Association business, house cleaning, and computer cleaning.
We also had a mini-lesson on Mount Rushmore. We used our good old encyclopedia to start out our lesson and incorporated math and geography into it by; mapping the distance from our house to Mount Rushmore, figuring the best route and what states we would pass through.
Here are some free online resources and links about Mount Rushmore:

Good morning everyone!
Have you forgotten your e-mail password?
Last night I was switching an e-mail account from Outlook Express to Mozilla Thunderbird. I don’t use this account very much and I had forgotten my password, couldn’t find it anywhere. What to do?
Google!
I found a great little freeware program that installed in minutes and immediately brought up every e-mail account I have, along with the passwords.
According to the website, this program will recover e-mail passwords for the following e-mail clients, with some restrictions:
Mail Pass View worked great for me, although I may not use it again now that I have my password.
For more information and to download this program, visit the website.
Have a great day,Denese
