I love this! I’ve been told that the Asheville surrounding area has a similar feel of the Adirondack mountains where I live. Often people who don’t want such a long winter, but still want to live in the mountains move there from here. My daughter now lives in Charlotte and I’ve wanted to visit that area but haven’t made it yet. Thanks for inviting us along on your reflective, journey of memories and new experiences. 🙏❤️
Thanks Wayne! My mother’s family is from the Adirondacks, so they all feel like home to me! 💗 I do hope you make it down to the Asheville area sometime, it’s a special place. 😊
Daddy sounds like the kind of person I would have liked to know, and I feel like I get a bit of that through being your friend, Rose. Thanks for sharing his memory with us.
I do get immersed in the way you tell your stories of your life. The smoothness by which you bring me along with you lets me experience what you let me see as I read your words. For me it’s akin to watching a movie unfold its beauty. Scene by scene, paragraph by paragraph is as if I am feeling, smelling and seeing all that you do. I think that is exactly what I am supposed to feel when I am transported. You give that to me, so thank you for writing your memoir and sharing its’ impact on your readers. I hope to read more of your stories for a long time to come. ❤️🌼
Maybe this is how a person lives forever. They affect your life and you pass it on: in your stories, in your outlook, in the things you love. Proudly signing myself, Nancy Perry Shinn. Our lives are infinitely richer in every way because of Daddy.
Those mountains are so gorgeous and peaceful. What a gift to grow up with them in your backyard.
Absolutely, on both accounts! I'm thankful for this chapter where I get to fully appreciate what a gift it was.

He was a cool dude, and thanks for sharing that kind reflection.
