I'm a modern day recluse living on the verge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I'm a writer, dairy goat farmer and have a Cocker Spaniel rescue. I write in the genre of Southern fiction and non-fiction, primarily about the Appalachian people.
I'm a southern girl, born in Savannah, GA and gently raised in the lowcountry of South Carolina. I'm a gun-toting progressive liberal Democrat.
Rosie, I just found your blog. You are one cool lady. (I hope "lady" isn't a bad word in your vocabulary.) I am about to retire in a few more months and move back to the Smokies. Hope to run across you some time. I will be down around Maryville or Seymour. I can't stand to be anywhere else, but around the southern mountains. Lived in ET for 25 years before I had to go away for a job. I have missed ET every day for the last 5 years. Your area is very nice. I love driving Hwy 32 over the mountain on the east side of Cosby.
Thanks, Carol. Oh, my, no--"lady" is a fine word--I'm a Southerner, after all. We'll be delighted to have you back in the area. Drop me a line when you get settled and maybe we'll have high tea in K-town. There's a lovely tea room in Knoxville.
