Believe it or not, this is the view from the window in our den! Waucheesi Mountain is about nine miles from us. Here you see the snow on the mountain in January, 2000. |

Here is another view of Waucheesi. This picture was taken in the summer of 1999. Again, this is from our den window! |

This is also from our den window. Of course, Waucheesi is hidden by the snow. |

Bald River Falls is a scenic waterfall that is about a 20 minute drive from where we live. It marks the point where Bald River joins the Tellico River. |

By the way, on the audio page I mentioned that we had named our puppy Andromeda, after our sister galaxy. And you may wonder why! When we first got Andromeda, she was only 6 weeks old and weighed only 1 lb 6 oz. When you sat her on the floor and looked down at her, she looked like a tiny fuzzy patch! Well, the Andromeda Galaxy looks like a "tiny fuzzy patch" with the naked eye on a dark night. Also, it seemed to us that these were two amazing, incredible creations of God--one at either end of the size spectrum! On the one hand, 2 million light-years away, the magnificent galaxy, with billions of blazing stars! What an awesome creation! On the other hand, a tiny little puppy, with billions of incredibly complex and ingenious cells all working together to make this bouncy little fuzzy patch of life! What an awesome God we serve! |
