Happy anniversary to Mr. Roughhouse’s large cabbage! As some of you might remember, I was summoned to Sharon this past spring to capture in photograph a 25 pound cabbage grown by the one and only Mr. Roughhouse. However, I was very disheartened to hear that this year, due to several cold spells we’ve had, the cabbages won’t be nearly as big as before. So, I scoured the county to find some equally winning news worthy of putting us on the map (or into Weekly World News) and I think I’ve found something.
So, without further ado, I’ll introduce you to my new friend, Mr. G from Gleason, and tell you a little bit about what he created in his backyard.
Last night, I had the privilege of getting a peek at Mr. G’s top secret project to escape any nasty tornadoes in the area and was completely blown away (ha) by what I think might quite possibly be the most amazing and creative storm shelter I’ve ever seen.
It’s a little dark, but do you realize what you’re looking at? Mr. G managed to take a school bus and bury it in the ground, gut it, put in comfortable seats and backup lighting AND cable television to weather all those nasty tornadoes and take every other boring storm shelter, well, to school! Amazing!!!!!

Craziness. That’s where I’d go when I wanted to get away from the world, which is quite often. Wonder if he’d rent it out for weeks at a time?

We need to go and see your cousin, Lauren, before she leaves.
Yes, ma’am.

You know, this storm shelter would make an interesting human interest story for the paper or for Hometown. Or for both. Or maybe there’s a bigger market out there that would pay more cash for the article. Hmmm…what about Tennessee Home and Farm? You should freelance more.

Don’t know, Finn. He might for the right price.
Yes, Newscoma, my cousin Lauren is my hero for the moment and we need to sit down and have a good long talk.
Maw Finn, the man was very interested in being featured in some sort of publication. I know. I do need to freelance more.

Scout, do a story on this for the paper. I think it’s awesome.
Tell me when you want to sit down and chat.
Lauren is my hero too right now
