Just returned from my
yearly YaYa Sisters’ trip in Greensboro, North Carolina. Since we’re in different states, we get together
once a year to catch up on everything including family news, trips, politics,
religion, new recipes, weight gain, ailments, meds, husbands, sex &
hormones – the list goes on. I know one week out of the year isn’t a lot of
time, so you can imagine how much we talked, laughed, and of course, eat.

One of my favorite
movies, Last of the Mohicans was filmed (1992) throughout North Carolina in the
western mountains of Hickory Nut Gorge, where you’ll find Chimney Rock Park. It’s
one of the most beautiful natural landscapes where you’ll see a three mile
Rocky Broad River carving its way through rugged cliffs with a 400 foot waterfall
and the awe inspiring rush of wildlife.
My favorite part of the
movie is the final scene where Chingachgook, Chief of the Mohicans, speaks of
being the last.
The soundtrack by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman is
worth listening to and also my favorite. It’s the soundtrack I listened to over
and over when I wrote The Quartering Act.
Can you believe, The Last of the Mohicans
was written by James Fenimore Cooper in 1826. The historical novel takes place
in 1757 during the French and Indian War, when the Native American tribes were
asked to fight against the British colonists. Daniel Day-Lewis is the character
Hawkeye/Nathaniel Poe and Russell Means is the last of the Mohicans. Great
movie and scenery.
