My ancestry is partly Scot-Irish, as is the ancestry of many people who live in western North Carolina and the surrounding area.
Our Appalachian heritage derives much of its richness from our ancestors in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and England.
I've been interested in fairy tales, druids, dragons, Celtic symbols, an other similar topics since childhood.
The Blind Pig and The Acorn
Tipper Presley lives in western North Carolina and writes a very interesting and entertaining blog called The Blind Pig and The Acorn.
I visit her blog almost every day and enjoy the stories she tells about her daughters, Chitter and Chatter, and her husband, The Deer Hunter.
She comes from a musical family and she loves to cook, so you'll find lots of music and articles about cooking, including recipes.
Tipper also has a group called Blind Pig and The Acorn on Murphy Connections, a social networking site for people interested in Murphy, NC and the nearby surrounding area.
Celtic Culture
Recently, I was looking at sites related to Appalachian heritage.
