Helping the Woman in Blue


This is a silent auction in a neighboring town here in the Ozarks. A friend, bee keeper, police woman and park ranger was run over and almost killed while walking and crossing the highway. Many cars, bears and people have been run over by trucks not making the stoplight on this highway. But this time it was an elderly man almost blind who ran her over. We have many over 80 year old seniors who still drive in the Ozarks. Ellie survived only because she was in such good physical shape. Plus, with the government shutdown and poor insurance, she has a lot of medical bills she must pay for. The man who hit her has no insurance. So the town is having a silent auction. All money goes to Ellie Carson. She is one of the good ones. Donations can also be sent to the Mountain View, Missouri Police Dept, Care of Ellie Carson.
You can find her here:

Shell-y


I saw this while looking for sea shells. I thought it was a neat way to display shells simply. Out of the way and great way to see them all.

Local Farm for Sale

For all my readers yearning to live in the Ozarks there is a listing. Actually, there are several listings in an around our pop. 500 of out town. This one belongs to so friends who also run an Air B&B. You can see the barn, house and the cottage in the photo. She has a pretty busy Air B&B going during the  spring- fall season. Hunters, visitors, river rats and trail riders all come and stay here. My friends want to relocate to Branson, MO. So their place is for sale. The barn is HUGE for horses or whatever. I thought I'd share.
