This was an absolutely historical and amazing football game in Neyland Stadium at the University of Tennessee this weekend. The Tennessee Volunteers beat Alabama 52-49 in the last seconds of the football game. Cheering, screaming, and fireworks could be heard all over Knoxville. It has been 15 years since we won against the Crimson Tide.…
This is a wonderful development in Lenoir City, right past the split of Kingston Pike in Farragut. Randy just finished and closed on 4 of these beautiful homes with basements. There are more coming out of the ground and projected completion early spring 2023. Gorgeous neighborhood, community pool, great location, and in a quiet setting.…
We did it! We are officially gardeners. We built a raised bed using some railroad ties from another part of the yard for the base. We followed some instructions from the web on how to start the soil from the ground up with out using any pesticides of any kind. We went to a co…
