22 yrs ago today, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl, Jessica. She was and is such a joy in my life. She has grown into a beautiful young lady and I'm so proud of her!!!
There were people there cooking over an open fire, fixin cornbread in dutch ovens in the kitchen, making rope out of corn husks-braiding them together-really neat!! Making apple butter, apple cider, hominy, molasses. 
It was hard work back then but it was a 'good' hard. Does that make sense?
Thought I'd share a few pictures I took at the Oconuluftee Farm Museum in Cherokee, NC this past Saturday. This is an annual event. I love going to it.

Sunday my son and I went to the fair. Saw The Traveling McCoury's w/Tony Rice. The winners of the mountain music and the bluegrass music played as well. Good music!!!

I haven't been to Oconuluftee in several years now- we were thinking of driving up there when the leaves change. It's about 2 hours for us.
Love the cornshuck dolls- I think they are so sweet!
