Middlesboro--My Hometown

Today's photos are from my beloved hometown of Middlesboro in Bell County.  I truly believe that I grew up in a little slice of Heaven, and most family, friends, and neighbors must have been angels in disguise. The mountains completely surrounded us like strong, protective arms, and each night before we went to sleep we could see the cross lighting up the mountainside at the east end of town.  We were blessed.
