    I like your poems and pics.

    Growing up in the hills of coal mine country i always dreamed of escaping to the sea but life seemed to get in the way.

    I now dream of the stars and the moon and the sun.

    Yeah, I grew up on a farm in upper SC, Piedmont Mts. Got outta there as soon as I could (16) and haven't stopped goin since! Thanks again for your encouragement and I want to encourage you too, Mon. At least you have your dreams! Never give up on your dreams, no matter how dark it gets, one little match will light up the Superdome. I have made and lost 3 fortunes and your health is more important than anythingum that you have got or can ever get....there I go...ramblin on and on.;)

    I understand where you came from. My wife worked for a company in Seneca and I think Oconee County is one of the prettiest places East of Mississippi. But that whole region is or used to be dominated by the textiles the same way Kentucky was run by the coal companies. I like visiting both places but wouldn't want to move to either.

    I lived in the Big Easy working for a while, and liked it except it was too big and fast for an old hillbilly. I still like visiting there, but only for a little while. After looking at concrete and buildings, I get an itch to watch the sun come up over the trees.
