tn: A Remarkable Big Little City, Chattanooga Tennessee - 01/15/09 08:34 PM
I remember the first time that I knew that I was coming to Chattanooga, Tn. for an extended time period.  I thought "Deliverance" then I came; with reservations, and never left!  This is a remarkable microcosm of larger cities, but, with the friendliness and familiarity of a nice town.  Chattanooga caters to so many areas of interest that it becomes mind boggling!
I would have to write a 200 page travel guide to cover things fully, but, just to start things off, here are some of the broad reaching activities that the area offers.
Outdoor Activities  - Hiking, boating, kayaking, swimming, … (0 comments)

tn: Ooltewah Small town feel- Big town amentities! - 12/28/08 12:27 AM

The once little town of Ooltewah Tennessee is growing in leaps and bounds as evidenced by this line of traffic and a full parking lot at the recently opened Wal-Mart.  During the real estate growth years, subdivision after subdivision was opened and sold.  With that came more banks and services. There are now at least five banks located in Ooltewah.  The first liquor store opened a few years ago.  There is Curves, several doctors offices, a shiping service, 3 pizza shops and numerous other things opening every day.  Within a 2 mile radius there are now 3 sub shops and … (2 comments)

tn: Benton Station Tennessee - 11/22/08 06:10 PM
In central east Tennessee is a little spt known as Benton Station Tennessee.  lthough it is near Benton, it is considered a separate area.  It was also known as "Murny".  It sits south and west of Benton proper.  Tomget to it you have to go to the other side of the Ocoee River.  It used to be a central trading spot.  The L & N railroad buiilt a train depot there and thus it was known as Benton Station.  The name came from it's close proximity to the town of Benton.  The train continued to run there until sometime in the … (0 comments)

tn: Somewhere Over the Rainbow........Hixson, Tennessee 11-15-08 - 11/15/08 10:54 PM
Today was an odd kind of day.  It went from rainy and warm to now at 11 p.m. rainy and cold.  In between there was some sunshine mixed with dark clouds in the distance.  While I was way out in the country I glanced to my right and saw this.  For me it had to be a sign; a sign that better times were ahead.  I don't believe in coincidence and this rainbow was meant for me!
Another view

There's a place.......at the end of MY rainbow!

Well, I spent another beautiful afternoon with my friend and co-worker Bobbie and her dog J.P. out in the foothills of East Tennessee.  Today we visited Starr Mountain located just slightly North of Cleveland, Tennessee in Etowah.

What wonderful sounds an sites and smells are in Collegedale, Tn this time of year!  I am not going to try to tell you a story, simply let you look at what I collected today from around town in the fall season.. By the way, this weekend was homecoming weekend for Collegedaale Academy and a lot of folks were in town to enjoy the season and many special events and old friends.  There were several concerts and a gymnastic exhibit that I know of and  many other events that I haven't caught up with yet.

tn: Apison Tennessee in a Little Detail - 10/26/08 03:01 PM

This is the quaint little Post Office in the tiny enclaave known as Apison, Tennessee.  Sandwiched between Collegedale, Tn., McDonald, Tn., and Ooltewh, Tn. this tiny little community is a quiet, country place to live.  The houses are mostly modest.  There is not much of a "town" per se, yet there is convenience to all that it's neighboring towns of Collegedale, Tn. and Ooltewah, Tn. have to offer and yet still is a great place to raise a horse as well as a family.

This is the Apison, Tennessee elementary school.  Good education as part of the Hamilton County … (2 comments)

tn: MOre, More, More---Delano Tennessee, Benton, Tennessee - 10/25/08 07:35 PM

I was recently on a forum and someone asked about Delano Tn. and Benton, Tn.  Unfortunately the forum prohibited me from answering about a lisiting that I have and the River Ranch in Benton would fit them perfectly.  I decided to post another blog about the area so that the chance improves that people will find this undiscovered aand convenient area.

Tell me, where are you going to find something like this.  This happens to be a 6.82 tract of property that is for sale.

tn: It's Poodle TIME in Tennessee!!!! - 10/25/08 11:47 AM
I haven't written about the Poos in a while, so, here's an update:
MARILYN   She is home now at 16 months old.   She is growing coat to go back in the show ring.  She is turning out to be an intelligent, athletic and highly independent girl.  Stuning to look at.  She came home with 4 points and a HUGE bill for me to pay.  Taking care of coat is not my forte so we struggle along.  Today is supposed to be Marilyn grooming day.
SAGITTA  She is 18 months now and ever my little agility queen and early warning detector.  You … (3 comments)

tn: More on Polk County Tn.and Benton-Delano Area - 10/24/08 12:16 AM
Today I had ocassion to visit River Ranch and I took a scenic drive and explored more parts of Polk County and the Delano and Benton areas.  I thought that I would like to share more photos of this sleepy, growing community that I am slowly falling in love with.
This is County Road 163 or also known as Bowater Road.   This happens to be the turn at the Chestuee Baptist Church sign to go to the River Ranch.  Bowater is a big paper plant located on Highway 11 in Calhoun, Tn.  You may remember reading about a rather large and … (1 comments)

tn: Apison Tennessee...the forgotten neighbor!!! - 10/22/08 10:35 PM
Apison is a small community that is a sub suburb of Chattanooga and I guess a suburb of Ooltewah and Collegedale Tennessee.  It is difficult to know the boundaries of Apison; it threads itself around Collegedale, Ooltewah and the south part of Bradley County Tennessee.  There is a small post office located off of East Brainerd Road and there is a Hullco center and a small antique/trading shop but not much other commerce per se.  There are however, acres and acres of picturesque farmland and McMansions mixed in with more moderate country style homes.  It is convenient to Collegedale, Ooltewah and … (0 comments)

tn: A Turkey Story for all the Turkeys from Hiwassee River Ranch, Benton, Tn. - 10/12/08 07:57 PM

And what to my wondering eyes should appear?  A turkey in all it's strutting glory!  Getting in shape to run from the Thanksgiving hunters I am sure!
This was the funniest Turkey I had ever seen.  You see we were coming down Polk County Route 750 from the Hiwassee River Ranch when my friend spotted a tractor for sale that she wanted to investigate.  I not being particularly interested in tractors, began to stroll the mini farm while she talked with the owner.  What I found ws an assortment of all type of barnyard animals, but, in particular, this TURKEY!!!  … (4 comments)

tn: A Beautiful Afternoon at the Savannah-Oaks Winery and Gift Shop - 10/12/08 07:26 PM
As I described yesterday, East Tennessee is just easing into the fall season.  Actually it was 85 degrees out this afternoon.  My friend Bobbie, her dog J.P. and I set out to make a tour of the area near Benton, Tn. and Delano, Tn.  Close to our new equine community.  One of the places that we have always wanted to stop was the Savannah Oaks Winery on Delano Road.  They also advertise items from the Sweetwater Cheese Factory.  This is also AMish country so it is not unusual to see a horse and carriage go by.
Well, we arrived at the winery about … (0 comments)

tn: Everything is buzzing in Hamilton Coutny and Chattanooga Tennessee - 08/03/08 07:48 AM
Since the recent announcement that Volkswagon is coming to Enterprise South, it seems that there is a buzz of activity locally.  For those of you thinking about relocating to the Chattanooga, Tennessee area, there will be many new things to look forward to and an electricity in the air.
I have seen that the local universities in and around Chattanooga, Tennessee, have begun ramping up their curriculum to accomodate Volkswagon's need for trained employees.  This is not only good for Volkswagon, but, for anyone seking a diverse educational experience and coming to the Chattanooga area.
Rental investments are alive and well … (1 comments)

Many of you remember me telling you about Twinkle a.k.a. TuTu's visit and her planned breeding.  Well, Monday I sent her from Atlanta to California hoping that we caught her heat cycle right.  Well guess what?  The breeder called me yesterday and said that there was one breeding with a short tie.  She is planning on attempting again today and then again on Sunday.  We have our fingers crossed.  If all goes well there will be June pups on the ground.  Kathy her owner is still in Brazil but she is very happy.  We are both looking forward to the … (8 comments)
