    I have seen this before when visiting but never thought there was this much to it so we didn't stop. We'll stop next time. This is so interesting to me. I wonder what the settlers would think if they could see all of the tractors 🚜 and equipment used today. I would love to see the look on their faces. Now Karen, how dare you "cheat on" my man, Big T with that cat. 🐈 😂😂😂 I thought that was so funny. That cat loved you. I really enjoyed this one, but then again I love all of your videos.

    The Mountains are Calling, don't let it go to Voice Mail, great sweat shirt. I loved the Cat !! he was super and sure did love you Karen. I know Big T will be asking all kinds of questions. The Heritage Center was over the top. I could go through there ten times and still not take in everything. Snow on the beds when the children woke up in the mornings to the moonshine business thriving in the hills of Tennessee. I saw in the printing press, area, in one of the newspapers, Mike was so kind to zoom into, the first printing press was brought over in 1638. Also the first printing of the bible for this area of America was done in the same time frame. 1661 I think it was by Elliot. The Eliot Indian Bible (Algonquin: Mamusse Wunneetupanatamwe Up-Biblum God;[1] also known as the Algonquian Bible) was the first translation of the Christian Bible into an indigenous American language, as well as the first Bible published in British North America. It was prepared by English Puritan missionary John Eliot by translating the Geneva Bible[. History holds the key to roads we can travel in stories and books to story telling we can share with each other. Thank you so much for taking us along on this step back in our life's journey. May God bless you and Keep you until we meet again. You friend in Christ, All My love, waving from NC, Pittsboro
