We are getting ready to roll into our sixth year in the Village that we call home, Olde Mill. We love life in Olde Mill and often refer to it as our little Hamlet ♥.
Olde Mill is a suburb of Laurel Fork and just like back on Waltons Mountain ⛰, when we need to head to the Big City, its West to Hillsville or South to Mount Airy.
It’s okay that year six will begin without ” being ” from Carroll County. It’s simply a life long obstacle that traces back 62 years to my Father 👨 being stationed in Lemoore, California. Little town with a Naval Base located just outside of Fresno.
Dad was sent to Virginia ( Tidewater) for the first time by my third Birthday 🎂, so the ties to California were pretty limited and since then its been a lifetime full of new locations. The first handful get pinned on the United States 🇺🇸 Navy ( 11 schools 🏫 in 12 years), the next handful can be put towards trying hard to find ways to feed our Kids by going wherever there was an opportunity for work.
Category three falls under what I call having an expiration date on my forehead. My tendency is to wear folks out with my never being in a casual manner. There’s always an opportunity to make someone smile and lift their spirits with a random act of kindness 💖.
Just a thought or two for some of the folks that have stumbled across our site over the past week. The idea 💡 is to create a “Safe ” place to visit and catch up on all of the wonderful events taking place in and around a place I like to call “The Hill “
With all of that said, let’s loop back to Carroll County by acknowledging that our Friend, Marion Harris had his first day of School 🏫 yesterday. Big Day for him but let’s switch to the Kiddo that I call Half Pint.
Here’s the list of things that Callie Harris has accomplished in the last 72+ hours. Getting her Dad ready for School has to be on the list but from there :
Gotta get back to my steps 🚶♂️ but that was a fun recap of a neat young Lady and her 72 hours !!
