Cookeville, TN Original

A woman was shopping in Goodwill in Cookeville when she came across a very unique-looking memorial teddy bear that appears to be made from "Mammie's Jacket." There are dates of Mammie's life embroidered onto the teddy bear inside the heart, indicating that Mammie lived from 3/24/1928 to 6/21/1996. The woman was touched by this precious keepsake and has turned to a Facebook group and internet sleuths to try and find Mammie's family to return the memorial bear.

Many of you know about Fall Creek Falls in Spencer, Tennessee along with its expansive, beautiful acreage. Among the acreage are waterfalls, hiking trails, camping, a lake and a hidden local swimming hole just down the road from the main entrance to the park. While there are no trails that connect this swimming hole to the park, there is a road (Owl Hole Road) that is best suited for Jeeps/Trucks that will lead you back to it. The road will take you a short way back to this incredible swimming hole known as Crusher Hole. Crusher Hole will be to the left at the split. We had to walk down the road because our low-riding car couldn't make it past the dip in the road at the entrance to Owl Hole Road. Definitely not far and we enjoyed the brief walk!
