The winner for June is…Chef E!
Since I know she has a hankering for one of my altered digital prints-I’m sending her one-of the bottle tree.

Gorgeous photo and congrats to Chef E – thanks for the shoutout Tipper. It’s nice to have friends give you a hug – even if it is virtual. I love the idea of the family reunion theme. As a member of DAR you would have thought that I might have thought about that but (duh …) didn’t hit me until now. Thanks for sharing.
Fondly,
Cindy
I won I won I won something! Last time I won was when I signed my son up at three for a scooter and they called and asked for him, lol, he could not ride it for another three or four years with out us on it!
I love that photo- apologies, I am deep into guitar lessons- I wanted to win the guitar đŸ™‚ he he
I am also deep into my wampp stuff and work- so I have been only giving a few sites my time once a week and you were on the list for tomorrow from google feed!
I miss the mountain music when I come over!
Congratulations to Chef E, that’s a nice picture…sure to be enjoyed.
Look forward to the upcoming posts.
Tipper, I just read your piece about the Over the Mountain Men -fabulous! I’d never heard of them before. I almost feel sorry for the Brits, trying to run away – for shame! I guess a handful of “mongrels” trumps a regiment of hot-house lillies! Here’s to the memory of all our brave ancestors, may we make them proud! Happy Independence Day!
Congrats to the winners! I;ll need to read “Chains”.
I have a great-great…etc. grandfather who served in the Revolutionary War: Ezra Covell.
I’ve heard of the Overmountain Men. Now, thanks to you, I know a bit about them. Your blog is always a nice place to visit! Thanks, Tipper!
I make sure to include the military service of all family members while doing my family tree. We should never forget any of them.
I love the flag picture.
Have a wonderful 4th. of July weekend.
God Bless America!
no wonder she likes the bottle tree, it is beautiful. the Love photos is special, thanks for presenting us with love.
Tipper: Congrats to the winner.
Tipper: Prize or no prize, I enjoy your topics every day! Speaking of our friend, Ethelene Dyer Jones, brings back wonderful memories of her tremendous support when I was ‘maketing’ my book. Her review of “The Matheson Cove – In the Shadow of the Devil’s Post Office” was exactly the boost I needed to introduce my book to the good folks of North Georgia. My great-grandmother, Minnie Little, and our brave folks in the mountains were like ‘the tree standing by the water’ and they were NOT TO BE MOVED to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears!
Just this morning I received a phone call from a mother who had been told about my book. After a LONG conversation, I agreed to help her write her sad story. We will meet next week for the first time and have lunch! I am going to try to not cry!
Thanks for your wonderful site!
Cheers,
Eva Nell
It’s always a pleasure to read your posts, Tipper. The truth is I’ve learned a lot from you. Now I can’t wait to read Etheline’s stories.
I am just now becoming interested in Revolutionary War. It is so fascinating & I regret that during my school years I learned just what I had to & no more.
Congrats Chef E

Congrats to the winner. That is a neat pic Tipper!
Congratulations, Chef E!
Tipper, I love the polka the girls are playing on your music player.
I didn’t know one of them played the piano.
The talent in your family just amazes me!
Congrats to Chef E on being this months winner!
I always like when you recommend books Tipper … “Chains” is now on my list. Thanks.
Looking forward to Ethelene’s stories. I haven’t read Chains yet and summer is probably a good time to borrow it from the library. I want to check out Independent Dames for my granddaughters too.
