… wow, looking back 5 years ago on the blog!

… fun to see where Matt and I were 5 years ago!… Matt was in the press pool in Asheville for Joe Biden’s visit… we still marvel at how white Vice-President Biden’s teeth were! ;-)

Did you know this about the man Brevard was named after?

Dr. Brevard, a surgeon in the Revolutionary War, wrote the Mecklenberg Declaration of Independence which was a precursor to our nation’s Declaration of Independence… interesting!

… my favorite thing Matt ever made for me at Mud Dabbers

Matt was so young when he made all these things… I have dishes he made for me and all sorts of bowls, but I love this little sign most of all… it sits in the kitchen next to my vitamins and I think how much I love it every time I see it… yes, peace to all who enter here… this is a place of peace, as it should be… xo
