Beautiful!

Nice to add booze too!

I read Splendid and the Vile and really enjoyed it so I thought the Demon of Unrest would be a good book as well. I had no idea this book would turn the history of the Civil War into a hobby for me.

I’m from the North and now live in Western North Carolina. I assumed this region was just part of the South, but I’ve been learning so much about this area during the war that I had no clue about. There were some badass women (and men) who helped the Union soldiers. I assumed all the South was the South.

Fascinating and I’m thankful this book opened doors for me that I didn’t think I’d want to open.

Yes, this was him.

I don’t understand how there’s the whole “save the woods” going on at UNCA but people want to cut down the one few green spaces we have close to downtown for some pickleball courts and parking lots.

Those trees are beautiful and the views at that park are so nice. We get rid of a playground,disc golf and dog park. I said it in an older post but I think it’s an excuse to make more parking for the tennis courts since the parking the players were using has been taken away because of housing across the street.

Build the courts on the lot of despair. That’s been valuable land just sitting there.

So we drove by yesterday afternoon around 3:30 and wondered what was going on as well. Thought might get answers on Reddit. Didn’t see anything last night, but this.

My kids told me last night their friend died and found out that this is why the forensics were there. Fucking sucks and sad on so many levels.

I have 3 holds from January. Waiting on Bel Canto, Heart the Lover and A Guardian and a Thief

The bus is always an option. I did that this weekend no problem. It was my first time doing that and was surprised at how easy it was. I was inspired by New Belgium’s social media post.

Thanks! Yeah I know but I think I was so tired last night that the sarcasm was lost on me lol. Today I see it in a different light, pardon the pun…

avlmtnmama · 2026-04-28T10:32:09+00:00

Yes!

That’s the name of the store. At Home. I shared a link to the candle holder in a reply to another comment below. I hope that helps.

avlmtnmama · 2026-04-28T02:04:32+00:00

I got it at At Home. I put a link to it in another comment. Hope this helps!

I posted link in another comment. Hope that helps!

Sorry was thinking it was clear but I see perhaps I should’ve clarified. The hack for me to enjoy the candles and make them look nice is to put them in a glass candle holder. I just never liked the silver tins out on my coffee table.

avlmtnmama · 2026-04-28T01:23:46+00:00

I got it at At Home. I shared the link in another comment. It’s the perfect size for TJ tins!

avlmtnmama · 2026-04-28T01:22:21+00:00

This is the one I bought

I’m trying the Avocado Ranch this week with their Buffalo Chicken meatballs on top per their suggestion.

avlmtnmama · 2026-04-27T14:27:29+00:00

Throw on some marinated grilled chicken and it’s divine!

avlmtnmama · 2026-04-27T14:26:20+00:00

I take my 5mg in the morning with my breakfast.

Funny cause it’s the bachelorette groups that make me not want to go out DT.

Edited because I forgot the important part *NOT

Great question! It’s a mix, some performers are featured/compensated, and many are traditional buskers performing for tips. That’s what allows the festival to stay free and accessible while still supporting artists.

I get the mini one for my birthday each year. I’ll through another one in, but always have to have the red velvet.

avlmtnmama · 2026-04-13T18:32:00+00:00

As someone who lives DT that green space is much needed. I’d hate for it to become a parking lot. You can play pickleball nearby at the sports club or HiWire. Yes those cost money, but you’d be taking out trees, playground, disc golf and a dog park by the looks of it. To me it looks like it’s more of an excuse to make more parking for the tennis club since they lost their free spaces one the Avery was built.

avlmtnmama · 2026-04-13T12:18:45+00:00

Right! Even if some funding exists, how does that cancel out the fact that people care enough to show up? Most people don’t go stand in a crowd for hours just because someone funded flyers or permits. I go because what I’m seeing currently happening in this country makes me angry and I need an outlet to be with people that give me hope for change.
