No, not THAT James Brown – this is my friend of many moons, Jim Brown. I first met Jim in the early 1990s when I was selling life insurance, and he was selling health insurance. He cold called on me in my tiny Jefferson Pilot office one day, and I invited him to come in and tell me about his Golden Rule insurance plans. He folded his tall frame into my one and only office chair designed for very short clients, and we were off and running.
Throughout the years, Jim sent us countless holiday cards that were truly unique and signaled the beginning of the holiday season. Pretty and I loved them all.

Each of Jim’s cards carried his best wishes for Pretty and me, and I’ve chosen one of his greetings to send to all our friends in cyberspace:
“May you enjoy a bountiful Thanksgiving Day…
a joyous Holiday Season…
and a prosperous, healthful, Happy New Year.”
From our family to yours, too.
Stay tuned.

I love the cabin best of all. A dream place to escape to, light a fire, be alone with family with nuthin’ of the outside world to intrude. All his photos are remarkable and slightly romantic. How nice that you kept them!
