The road to our house winds up a hill towards the hospital (i.e. “hospital hill”)…and overlooks the small town. The morning light through the clouds makes it seem like a scene from a story book, like maybe from the Mitford series. You can see the Great Smoky Mountains passenger train warming up and the courthouse in the distance. The small hill in the background is “schoolhouse hill.” The white building in the lower left is the old Nehi bottling plant…now it’s RC Cola…but you can still see the “Nehi” ghost letters left behind. (and I mostly notice this because I love Grape Nehi).
I pinch myself each day. I really live here in Bryson City:
What a lovely view…..I was driving to Charlotte the other day and went through Asheville…..my side of the mountains
….a beautiful drive….red tinged clouds and the mountains in a silouette…Happy New Year…..
Truly God’s country…what an amazing blessing that he led you there. Happy New Year to you and your family. Much love!
That’s a most beautiful sight! Wonder of wonders…
Happy New Year!
God Bless you and your lovely family!
Happy New Year!!!!!!
I love the Mitford Series! I always dreamed of living in a city like Mitford. So glad you were able to move there.
When I walked around the train station I noticed a big brick church across the street…I am wondering if you can see the church from your view also?
I first read the Mitford series as a teenager, and have gone back to it many times. I now own the compete boxed set, and have often imagined living somewhere similar. We recently moved to a large tourist city on the Grand Strand, and I find myself returning to those desires for a simpler life more and more. Enjoy your view, and thank you for sharing it with us!
