This is not a daily blog. I am not setting a schedule. I live in Seymour, not far from Trundles Crossroads (best known these days for Tennessee Pizza). I have other things in my life: family, friends, pets, a house and yard, daily walks, books to read, birds to learn about, puzzles to complete, meetings to attend.

You can help. If you have an interesting family history or a story about bygone days in our area, let me know. You can write about it yourself and send it to me at annadgarber@gmail.com. Or you can call me at 865-363-7397 and I’ll take notes over the phone. Or we can meet, if you prefer. If you write, please limit it to around 500 words.

Don’t worry if you can’t spell or if you’re not sure of your grammar. I’ll clean it up for you.

If it’s a long piece we could maybe arrange to run it in two parts. Photos and pictures welcome, of course. But be forewarned: I reserve the right to change or cut copy, though if I plan to do anything drastic I would run the changes by you before posting.

Let’s get started!

By the way, you can buy “From the Mouth of Boyds Creek” at Seymour or Sevierville libraries or at www.boydscreekbook.com. Proceeds benefit Friends of Seymour Library.
