I co-own and operate a summer rental house on Lake Norris, have a Portuguese Water Dog whom I dearly love!, travel extensively due to family in three states, and live in Phoenix in winter and Caryville (north of Knoxville) in the summer in our permanent home. I'm a new runner, and beginning pilot training. The title has to do with the fact that my hubby says I'm his Lucille Ball.http://rudy53.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com (Ruthy)Blogger11125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787694523281053939.post-6762705671756408300Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:15:00 +00002007-08-28T15:00:17.156-04:00I found this site and decided to post my map below.
