The Family Storyteller-Is It YOU?

By Debra DuPree Williams @DDuPreeWilliams

You’ve probably heard the old saying that everyone has a story. Let me add to that, every family has a storyteller. I’m not sure that’s me in our family, but I’m the keeper of the genealogies on both my husband’s and my sides of the family. If storyteller is part of that, then I happily wear that title.

We’ve had the pleasure of sharing this past week with my husband’s sister and her husband. They live in Birmingham, Alabama, and they visit with some regularity. Events of the past year have made those visits a bit less frequent, so we were overjoyed that they could be with us this week. We’ve had fun outings, traveling here and yon, and we’ve taken pleasant drives even though our leaves have yet to show off their vibrant colors. 

Around Every Curve--Surprise

By Debra DuPree Williams @DDuPreeWilliams

One of the many nice things about living in the mountains of western North Carolina, other than our beautiful mountains and all that comes with that, is there is always something new around the next curve. Our weekend outing was a testament to that.

As an author, I have accounts on many social media sites, and I have this weekly blog. To keep my posts fresh and to have relevant photographs to accompany these posts, I like to take my own photos. An advantage to this is, I don’t have to worry about copyrighted material. And, I add my own watermark so that my work cannot be used without my permission. Honestly, I don’t think I need worry about that as I am not a professional photographer by anyone’s stretch of the imagination. But, I do okay for someone who is clueless.
