Folk Art
Artists don’t spend all their time making large oil paintings and huge statues. Many worked for years before they found the special, individual look that pictured the world in a unique way. A different group of artists made folk art carvings, squashed pottery vases, and sewer tile statues with the free materials found nearby. Collectors […]

Ownership of real estate is established by a deed. Even if there is a mortgage, the title holder still owns the property, subject to the mortgage. Un-like a car title, one never needs the original deed after it is recorded in the public records. Types of deeds include general warranty deeds, special warranty deeds, quit […]

We have been overcome with three years of problems, hoping they could be solved as we move forward into 2023. We follow the news though the likelihood of a better world still doesn’t appear on the horizon. We still seek to do our best with everything using positive attitudes. It sounds easy but we know […]

I know it’s that time of year again because my cat, Slammin’ Sammy, isn’t lounging in front of the back door like a limp welcome mat anymore. Gone are the hot summer days where he preferred sleeping on the cool tile floor inside. Now, […]

I have been spending time recalling my life experiences, with gratitude that we weren’t faced with some of the things young people face today. I remember the heavy wooden one-lane bridge that was always scary to cross. From about 5-years-old I would feel my heart skip a beat when driven to Hickory Tree by Grandma […]
