Welcome to the area! I hope you like it as much as we do. We've lived here for less than two years, but feel very much at home. I'm sorry you had to leave Ohio, but so glad you were able to find work here. I love Doggett Mountain. We went over it a year ago when we went to Trust and to Max Patch---it's a lovely area. We even looked at a house up there at the base of Doggett, but someone else ended up buying it first. We like the Leicester area a lot and looked at quite a few houses there, but ended up buying elsewhere. Several of the houses we were looking at were on Old Newfound Road, and I remember thinking how cool it would be to have that address! :-) Thanks so much for reading my blog and for saying "Hello." I really love hearing from my readers and knowing who they are. Best wishes to you and your husband---hope all continues to go well. Happy Holidays! May the New Year be a blessed one for you both. Beth Hi there, Janis!

I recently moved to the Leicester area with my husband. I have been reading your blog for quite some time now but since I am now in your relative area I thought I would say something finally. We were vistims of the wonderful economy in Ohio and ended up living with my sister on Doggett (spelling?) mountain on the western edge of Leicester in October but now both of us have found work in Asheville and a house to rent in Leicester with a half acre. We will be gardening and bird feeding once we get settled. I have enjoyed reading your blog over the past few months and will continue to do so as time allows. We will be living in a singlewide "ranch" at the bottom of the mountains which is ok with me. I can visit the highlands whenever I want! Thanks for being so entertaining. Your blog/journal is grand to read!! Thank you for being out there in the "blogger" world! Janis Hello!

A true love story. You had me laughing out loud and on the edge of my seat hoping for a happy ending. It's great that you obviously saved the ad and the responses and the funny picture and so now you can share this with everyone. You two are meant for each other, that's for sure.

I love it. It is a love story that some of us only get to dream about for ourselves. Good for you for having the strength to get away and move on from the abusive husband. I think that takes not only self esteem, but true courage. I envy your kids getting to hear that story over and over! I love it.

I'm so glad you rwo found each other. It's so funny. The things I liked about my husband before we got married are the things that really bug me now. I will have to write my story someday!

I could see it playing out like a movie script. The camera steered away from the letter you wrote back too fast and I couldn't read it. Joe and I wrote imaginary Want Ads after we met. Mine was a poem but all I remember of it is: Tall, dark and responsive. This is such a great story! I could see it playing out like a movie script.

Both laughing tears--for the joy of it all--and mourning tears that turn into new joy--for the twisted and stump-filled one lane road that eventually led you to the highest joy of all. Sandy knew his stuff. And he knew a good woman when he saw one. I like the honesty and humor of Daddy's response... I probably would've said, "Oh how I like a woman with bushy eyebrows!" ;-) Y’all are so funny–I had tears in my eyes, too, Wesley.
