In this blog you will find stories about my family, our adventures traveling the state we call home, our love of cooking, canning and raising children.I write about West Virginia history, culture, the arts and their traditions. I share things about the work I do working with Non-Profit organizations, who battle everyday to make my state better. I write real stories about our people, who seem to be so miss understood by the media and the country at large. I want to shed some light on why many of us choose to stay and live in some of the hardest hit places in the county and why life is just better in a deep hardwood forest.
