Laverne who is a retired school teacher, currently working with the Meals on Wheels program in the local area, spends her spare time making art with something that has been often discarded on small tobacco farms. Tobacco Sticks! Making walking sticks, platters and American flags is a hobby that is great for relaxation and sells. She sells her art in Gatlinburg, TN and in Kentucky as well.
Sharing stories of growing up in the Hills of Eastern Kentucky. She tells us of canning, gardening, and a heartwarming story of a simple doll she had as a child.
