Fairyland Tennessee
So my dad grew up on Look Out Mountain Tennessee which is on the border of Tennessee and Georgia. He grew up in a small town called Fairyland where all the roads are named after you guess it Fairy tales. It is the cutest town ever! My Uncle Lamar took us around all their old stomping grounds and told us stories as we went. Even ones where they would hide their whiskey moonshine by the school pond. We also went to the old family cemetary that is now owned by Covenant College which is a college where you go to become a preacher. I would actually love to live in Fairyland. It is small and so cute and oh so beautiful!Its amazing up their on the mountain! I loved learning more about the mountain times. Jonathan wants to interview my dad and get all the stories and other info recorded for history. I learned something new that my dad was the only on out of his 7 children who went to college. I couldn't believe it my dad was the first generation in the Moorman family to go to college ever. Way to go dad I am so proud and now look all 3 of your girls went to college!
A house on the mountain that I fell in love with. Its huge!

It looks much nicer now than back then. This was a K-12 school during my dads time.

My dads old house. They sure have kept it nice. Met the owner and he is the son in law of the my dads next door neighbor. Woody Wooten. It was funny to hear stories from him too about how the house was built by his father in law and sold to my grandparents then sold to some one else then sold back to Woody's father in law. His wife last name was Wooten before they married but Woody made sure we knew they were not kin. Makes you wonder huh.
