Post your pictures with us We love getting so many photos from the Carolina Country family. Now that mobile phones and tablets have builtin cameras, we get far more pictures than we used to, and far more than we can publish here. Try posting yours to our Facebook. It’s quick, and there’s a growing Carolina Country family there, too. —The Editors
Where is Bailey? In the July magazine’s “Joyner’s Corner,” we placed The Country Doctor Museum in Bailey in Wilson County. We know better. Bailey is in Nash County. The museum’s collection illustrates an interpretive story of change and advancement in rural America’s medical history. Learn more at countrydoctormuseum.org.
Bluebird boxes for Davidson County I am 85 years old, and this year I built more than 100 bluebird houses and gave them away to people. Later, I sold them for $6 to help cover materials. I have been doing this for several years, but this is the most I have made in a year. If my health permits, I plan to build 125 bird houses to give away locally about the first week of February 2015. I will announce the giveaway in Davidson County’s newspaper, The Dispatch, several days in advance. Charles A. Barefoot Sr., Lexington, EnergyUnited

Know a clock maker? I enjoy reading your magazine because the stories give me a chance to learn about and to know the people and area we live in. Now I need some help finding a clock smith. We have a grandfather clock that suffered an accident, and I’d like to find someone to fix it. This clock is very special to me because it was built by my father and imported from Finland. I hope to pass it in good working condition to my boys.
