Have you ever had and idea and asked yourself, " Duh, why didn't I think of that sooner?"
I had such a moment this morning as I thought about my friend 'Summer Daye' who has been my buddy for years. She writes the Valle Crucis News which is published in the Watauga Democrat newspaper and posted on the Mast General Store website. If it happens in the Valle, then 'Summer' knows about it and tells us. Why I didn't post a link to it on my blog a long time ago beats me? Her column is the first one I read in the paper cause it speaks of the people I see each day. Anyway, so now her almost weekly column is accessible to you by clicking upon the link at the top of my blog. Thanks 'Summer' for the time you volunteer to keep us informed.
The barn above is a late evening shot taken of the barn directly behind the parking lot of the Mast General Store in Valle Crucis. I took the shot from the Cooper's Field.
And finally, does anyone out there know how to add a link to a sidebar in Typepad without having to set up a Typelist first? I tried to add Valle Crucis News as just a link in but each time I tried, I'd get Valle Crucis News then underneath Valle Crucis news (as the link). It looked stupid. So, I made a typelist named ***** , then linked Valle Crucis news. It looks only slightly less stupid. I don't have time to figure it out so if someone can easily walk me through, I will sing your praises.
***Update***
And now I'm gonna sing the praises of Jim Brodhead as he pointed out a perfectly simple solution to my problem. I added the Valle Crucis news to my Boone Area Blogs/News typelist. Thanks Jim. I think it looks so much better.
