I went to the thrift on Green Forest looking for a gift for my friend that is leaving our company because she is getting her nursing certificate soon. I found this chicken platter for my friend and these 3 books for Ada. I will take the books to Harrison next weekend and leave them at her door.
And, I have a wren nest with one egg on it in the hanging basket on the middle of this image. I bought meal worms to feed them. I scared her off the nest this morning. I hope she comes back tomorrow a d leaves another egg.
You might visit the Ogle cabin. The story is here https://www.cabinsusagatlinburg.com/smoky-mountains-information/post/0/41/225/the-ogle-cabin-in-gatlinburg.php.
Our Ogle line runs thru our Grandmother, Gerturde Maples Powell to her mother Sarah Lou Coxsey > her mother Martha Barksdale > her mother Rebecca Bidwell > her mother > Sarah Ogle and her father John Ogle. John Ogle's brother William Billy Ogle is the subject of the above historical account of the Ogle Cabin in Gatlnburg. Sadly, I have visited Gatlinburg, but did not know of of our connection to this piece of history at the time.
You can find the historic Ogle cabin in Downtown Gatlinburg at Traffic light # 3 next to the Gatlinburg Welcome Center.
