Just wanted to say to let you know, Dodd won his bid for Seat B, District 6 in Blount county. Seat A was filled by a young man I met yesterday and I think he and Dodd will make a difference in Blount County. He had to be a good guy, his mother and father in law were campaigning for him! Thomas Cole is his name.
All in all it was a wonderful day and had a happy ending. I am proud of Dodd and I know he will make an excellent commissioner and the schools and kids got a supporter.
This is supposed to be a happy post, but I have to share some bittersweet news too. Bittersweet because in some ways it is a beginning not an ending. After lots of thought Sharon and Johnny have decided to close the Hen. Yes, no more Speckled Hen. They are going to do some things for them, which they deserve. They will continue to do shows along, but the shop is closing. I want to thank all of my blog readers who have gone in there after learning about it on my blog.I have loved every day I have worked and enjoyed meeting some wonderful people. I wish them the very best. Please note I am not saying goodbye to them. We are friends and will always be, but will miss the Hen. I know you will too.
Well thank you for coming Through My Back Door where life is good.
betty
PS:I don't know abut you, but I am thankful for these warm days.

PSSS: I want to thank you for all the e-mails, FB comments, and blog comments a bout Ryan and Zeus! Don't you love a happy ending?
Hi Betty!! Congrats to Dodd. My Dad had always been involved with politics since I was a child. We lived in small towns and It was so fun putting out signs and taking them down and seeing him in th papers, etc. I bet you are so proud. We need more good men.

Congratulations to Dodd and the whole family! I wish him the best of luck in his new position.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the Speckled Hen is closing. I have never been (live way too far away!), but it saddens me to hear when nice prim shops close down. I hope the owners enjoy their new freedom, however, and this new chapter in their lives!!
Congrats to you all! My grandfather was mayor here in our small town for 18 yrs i think and my daughters city clerk so family still in some sort of politics.. Sorry to see a shoppe close... Loved seeing pictures of you and Karen meeting! How fun! Enjoy your day Betty!
