Scenes from Dover TN and Fort Donelson

Life in The Upper South... History and Old Stuff...



This morning while Isaac was taking the ACT at Dover, TN, I wandered around the Fort Donelson National Battleground and National Cemetery for a couple of hours. The Union victory here was a turning point in the War Between the States. The grounds were beautiful in the cold bright light, and the extreme quiet of the place was almost eerie.

I would like to go back on a warmer day and hike some of the trails.

You take such beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us.

One of my work colleagues commutes to Nashville every day from his home in Dover.

Your co-worker has a long commute! It takes forever to drive from Clarksville to Dover. I know he is looking forward to the 4-lane being completed.

Thanks for your nice comment, Runaway. :)

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
