A single day certainly isn’t sufficient to praise a mother’s mettle and celebrate her for all that she is and does, but Mother’s Day provides an occasion to share kind words and express your love and gratitude for all that the women in your family – be they moms, grandmothers, stepmothers, godmothers, or mother-figures – have done for you. ...read more

In the days after September 27, 2024, highway information signs were emblazoned with a message... Do Not Travel in Western North Carolina. That sounds ominous, but its message was not overstated.

And volunteer! ...read more

Even before we bought the Mast General Store, we were taken by the beauty of Valle Crucis. We’ve heard people describe the drive out Broadstone Road as traveling through a time portal. In the 1970s, fields in the river bottoms would be filled with tobacco, cabbage, or high with hay to feed cattle that were grazing in the summer pasture. ...read more

You should always take time out for a little fun, no matter what your age. As a result of a conversation just recently, it occurred to us that the definition of fun can change over time. What’s fun for a 10-year-old today might be considered some sort of punishment for a 10-year-old a generation or two back.

It’s the memories of summer and those days when time moved so slowly we wished some of it away. ...read more
