When I ws growing up here in these Blue Ridge Mountains, I often wondered what lies on the other side. I recall asking Pa that question one day. What lies on the other side?
He said, "Well Ida, someday when times are better, you will see; you will see." It was many, many years later that my eyes would behold a beauty that is far different than my Virginia mountains. Even though my eyes are slightly dimmer now and my steps not so quick, I can still see with my spirit. God has truly shed his handly work all over this big old world, but I shall always be thankful to have my roots here in these Appalachian hills.
