About this Blog

This blog is dedicated to the adventures and misadventures of Our Millie, her unique approach to life with her family and friends in her Appalachian home and in the world beyond. Hope you enjoy her and like her as much as I do. She insists I tell her story and speak in her voice and there is no denying her. Give her a YooHoo, bluegrass music and a cabin in the hills and she will take it the rest of the way.
