Maybe they got their green thumbs by planting by the signs! :) Honestly, though, I do believe there is something to the old folklore. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Thanks for telling me about the scrapbooking store. As yet, I have not had time to even think about getting back into that project. Normally, I work at it steady during January and February, but this winter was different for us...buying the cabin…

My husband and I have owned our land here in Murphy for about 15 years, but we're only just now able to start regularly spending time here. As such, I consider myself "new" to Murphy. It is difficult to meet people outside of…

I was reading the conversation between you and John about meeting new people. I wanted to let you know the folk school has free contra dancing every Tuesday night from 7 till 8. Its a great place to meet people and have fun-it's also fun to watch if you're not interested in dancing.

Also-my girls attend The Learning Center in Murphy-the school is huge on folks volunteering from the community-so if you live near by maybe you could check them out.

No problem on the Facebook link. We've all done it.

I'm happy to hear that you enjoy Murphy Connections. While I manage the site, I like to think of it as belonging to all of us who are interested in living in and visiting Murphy. Your contributions will make it even better.

Welcome to our friendly little online community for people who are interested in Murphy.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. I tried to look at your Facebook profile, but I'm afraid that you linked to the home page instead of your own profile.

If there is anything I can do to help you get more from Murphy Connections, please let me know.

All the best,

JD
