Looks lovely and exactly what I’ve been passing through. We’re probably going a little further south. Yes, religion plays a huge role here. I was so pleased when our real estate agent stopped me from digging into lunch when he wanted to say Grace.

You’re about 100 miles from me :-) I’m in Northeast Tennessee, near North Carolina and Virginia.

Isn’t that sweet? I love how so many here live their religion, it’s not just a Sunday thing.

And there literally is a church on every corner :-) I have driven through some pretty desolate looking hollers, just to turn a corner and there is a church!

FYI East Tennessee is about 5° cooler in the summer and 5° warmer in the winter than the surrounding areas. Don’t ask me why, but I’ll take it!

I meant Northeast Tennessee… North of Knoxville.

In my area, it seems we only see the Black people doing that; but we see it often. Also reading their Bibles on the bus and subway in the mornings.
