This home is for sale. It used to be the only Kindergarten in the county and it was run by 2 lovely ladies named Mrs. Barlow and her oh so sweet daughter Mary George Ward. It was held in the basement of the house. You will see a door next to the driveway. We made mud pies and there was a spigot to wash our hands before returning to the classroom. I also remember us playing in a refrigerator box ! Those were the days. No purple haired women or women with beards. They read sweet stories and no one ever mentioned changing your gender. We were called by our birth names and identified by the s*x that was assigned to us at birth. There was no discussion on this issue. We called them both by the pronoun MRS. and we learned to respect not only teachers but adults in general. We knew our places by using these simple rule of thumbs. Why couldn't people just leave things alone ? So sad.

This home should be a landmark in Harlan. I'm not sure what years altogether but in 1966 there was a wonderful Kindergarten housed in the basement which there is a side entrance from the driveway. The Kindergarten was run by a mother/daughter duo named Mrs. BARLOWE (MOTHER) & Mrs. WARD. It was a 1st class set up. We would go outside for playtime and had a big refrigerator box to entertain ourselves in or we could make mud pies. What wonderful memories that 2 precious women made possible for lord only knows how many children in Harlan. We were blessed children. We prayed, said the pledge of Allegiance. Had sweet stories read to us and I assure you there were no purple haired women with beards, naked people or freaky stories about us wanting to be the opposite s*x. And we never called our teachers by their 1st name. Thank the lord for the simpler times when everything was just real & wholesome. We could certainly use more of that today. What happened to precious women & teachers like Mrs. Barlowe & Mrs. Ward ?

Do you just love the character of an old home? This beautiful home features a large closets, a clawfoot tub, hardwood floors, and a fantastic fireplace to enjoy on cold nights! And it is in walking distance from everything in downtown Harlan, including Harlan Independent Schools. All that inside and a large garage out back make this a home you will want to see!

So true!

Keanu Reeves is a true dog lover 🥰🥰
This is Matrix movie star Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and often seen riding a subway in NYC.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account. In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought;
I support putting animal abusers to sleep and you ?
❤️I think you will be proud to wear this T-shirt

First (but certainly not last) annual Jazzy Girl Retreat at Biltmore Estates. While cleaning my office after returning home from this wonderful weekend, I tripped up on this motivational calendar my dear sweet friend Eva Scruggs gave me a couple of years ago and this saying by Helen Keller popped up. It just summed up our wonderful weekend with this extraordinary group of women I admire so much. So I've shared some photos of our trip. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
