Good morning again! So I’m back from my appointment and catching up on all of your thoughts and ideas about where the next Dream Home could be located. My previous post is still not posted;(( but I wanted to see if you guys could review my old comment…it is posted on the Dream Home Blog, Second Clue:Search the Scrabble Board on May 7th at 6:08pm. I don’t think many of you regulars saw it because it was not posted right away. Please let me know what you think…although now I have read so many others I am totally confused;)
Living the Dream!
Can an AMBITIOUS Blogger Maybe do some Research for VIRGINIA ? I’m just Totally Worn Out!
1. CATHY LEMAR on May 9, 2009 , Blogged, “ The pic on this page was definitely taken in WEST VIRGINIA by a photographer named Jeff Turner, It was taken on Wickwire Rd., Grafton, West VA.— I know, a Different state, but pretty close!
2. If the Number is 1607? JAMESTOWN, VIRGINIA was established in 1607!
3. Is there any Connection of Oats, Oranges, Ivory, or Ravioli to Virginia????
I dreamt last night of video clips from Knox-News, the Chattanooga Train, and Mountain Resorts— I woke up this morning realizing, I HAD ENOUGH!!!!! NO MORE!!!! I’ll explain it all in my Next Blog. Honestly, I’m Totally Googled-Out, and I’m taking the day off!!!!

I’m going to make the Suggestion that the Home Site will be in Tennessee!!!! How about a Home in the midst of the Appalachian Mountains, Scenic Winding Roads, Overlooking a Famous Rapid River, and Nature Abundant? How about a home in Cleveland, Tennessee. It is right Outside of Chattanooga, and about a 1 hour drive from Knoxville (HGTV’s home). And not being far from the Ski Resort of the South—Gatlinburg!
YNOTME Blogged, “ I think there is something to the last sentence….. ‘no suggestion is too OUTLANDISH’ So, what does Outland mean, is there an area where an island is called outland locally or something like that?”
1. “There is an OUTLAND EXPEDITIONS near the Ocoee River, one of the Top Ten White Water Rivers in the United States. It is nestled amongst the trees, in Cleveland, Tennessee. “
2. “The river flows through the southern Appalachian Mountains and is located in the Cherokee National Forest, “—- hmmm— Cherokee? Indians? Teepee????
3. It was also once known as the “Wildest River in the West”
4. Maybe the “rumor of Southwest” is really “West” in the “South”???
I really Now think the the “CLUE” of “OATS” is a “Narrowing Down” Clue. OATS are Only grown in the Mississippi Valley “Region”. The States in This Region are: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana.—and I think, North and South Dakota. So, it may be TENNESSEE ???
I’m Serious, I really am— I’ll break-down the clues in the Next Blog. I’m not going to be too serious though— DB COOP said, “ Seriousity killed the cat”—- LOL

These are the Clues for the OCOEE RIVER Area of TENNESSEE:
FIRST PICTURE GALLERY=
1. The Ocoee River is a Premium Observation site for the magnificent “Sandhill Crane.” The Tennessee Wildlife also draws more than 12,000 Cranes!
2. The First Picture of the “Beach” shows a red- clay like sand. “There is a Nearby attraction called Red Clay State Park “
3. The Sisal-Style nylon rug king of looks “safari looking”.
4. The CONCH SHELL is in Abundance there too!! In fact, it is Very Significant There. There was a Weekend Gala of Events not long ago with an organization, and the key speaker was the Consul General of Japan. The Newsletter stated, “ the Organization did there Annual Trip Rafting down the Ocoee River”. At the Black Tie Dinner— there was “Entertainment using Japanese Rock Music with ‘CONCH SHELLS’ and flutes!” http://www.jasgeorgia.org
5. There is also an Abundance of Blooming Flowers there— but no mention of Orchids though!
6. F.Y.I.= The rapids of the Ocoee, was the same river used in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
SCRABBLE BOARD=
1. TEEPEE= Think Indians- Appalachian Mountains—– There is an organization, “Appalachian American Indians” of West Virginia. “There was also a status of American Indians living in the central Appalachian region–Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.”
2. OATS= “Oats were first planted in Massachusetts. By the 1870s, the shift moved into the Mississippi Valley “ Region” , which is its Major area of Production today. The states in this ‘Region’ are: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, TENNESSEE , Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana—and I think, North and South Dakota. “
3. ORANGE= it is one of the “Mascot” COLORS of the University of Tennessee!
4. IVORY= “True” ivory comes from Elephants and mammoth. The most commonly found Ivories in North America come from the Elephant” There are Lots of Elephants in Tennessee!!!
5. BIKE= Lots of Bicycle Paths along the Scenic Route!!!!!
6. RAVIOLI and Tennessee??? OK, the Drumroll please—– There are actually a few, yummm Gourmet restaurants (but in Memphis and Nashville though)— There are More than One Connection—-
• When I think of Ravioli— I think Italian— then I think of Italy— Then I think of either the Vatican or the Canal in Venice— Canal??? RIVER? RIVER?????
• In the “Tennessee Archives,” there is an old picture of a man in the 1800’s riding in the Tennessee River in a GONDOLA!!!!
• There is an Italian Opera and Festival in Knoxville http://www.rossinifestival.org/— Don’t laugh— I don’t know of any Opera’s in Florida. And I’m not so sure that New York even has any “operas”???
• The Ocoee River can be thought of as a “camping site” too. There is a Common “Camping Song” for the kids. The Song is Titled, “ RAVIOLI”. http://www.kidslist.uc.edu/kidslist/gs/neil/nsong1_index.html
THE NUMBER, 1607? 1647? 1627? 16 Something?
Tennessee was the 16th State that was Founded!!
OK– that’s it for now—- that’s it for a while—- Until at least tomorrow— I’m taking today OFF!!!

WAIT….YAY!!!!!!!!!!! My comment on this page was just posted this moment when I was checking;))))) I’m dancing, dancing! It is the very first comment at the top of this page. OMGosh, I can’t believe how excited I am…it was a long weekend waiting for it! Hahaha…yes, I am so laughing at myself right now;))
Just reveal the new location. We’re all on a witch hunt and going mad! ARG!!!
I think it is 1627 Plymouth Mass.
That picture above is in Grafton, West Virginia. So I take it the pictures are no clue because all the pictures are in different locations.
I DON’T think its Tenn, because my father, sister & myself were all born there. Mostly because Tenn. doesn’t have a coast, but your ideas are very good. Well, since Mary just wrote that it’s Mass., I guess it is. (??) I’m burnt out with this…where’s another clue or what IS the location, HGTV???
Well, if the photos aren't a clue, then why would they show them???
Ravioli, orange, come on it reminds me of chef boyardee “raviolies”. It could be where chef boyardee got it’s start.. Pennsylvania or Ohio ( Lake Eerie beaches)??? Euclid Beach in OHIO former Coney Island type of area.
I believe the state is NC however essentially close to TN in a place called Cherokee,NC there is a gorgeous valley called Maggie’s I think. I took the kids through there and that picture is the spittin image of the four hour road tour. Absolutely awe-inspiring lanscapes. An artist’s dream come true and a mom’s natural babysitter. Cherokee, NC has an authentic native america museum which if you are spiritually sensitive you just could be healed.I know I was, for two years I couldn’t feel my toes and when I set foot inside I felt vibrations and all feeling came into my toes…true story 2007.
