Rich fields for farms, beautiful timberlands, hills, streams and rivers -- places where families could live, work, and grow.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">No one knows exactly who gave the little settlement its name. Most folks agree it came from an oil painter who fell in love with the wooded hills banking the creek, where changing seasons brought an array of colors begging to be put on canvas.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">The little village of Painters Bluff is home to several hundred people now, yet it remains a scenic, old-fashioned community. Although they try to keep with the times to an extent, the folks who live there love the quaint small-town charm of their home.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">I hope to document life in Painters Bluff through this blog. My assistant P.L. has agreed to be my partner in this venture. I hope you'll enjoy visiting and come back to Painters Bluff often.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Lorilei</span>Lorileihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13804769649923400357noreply@blogger.com0
