    About this ebook

    Every-Day Living is a book about a family and about how it used to be in rural North Carolina. Specifically, Blaine, North Carolina. Bill Russell is the last surviving sibling of Cled and Lola Russell's nine kids. He takes the author on a talking riding (and can he talk!) tour of Blaine, North Carolina and talks about the people, places, and happenings from long ago. Other family members add their two cents, and Doug Russell, the author, investigates the Russell Gold Mine and several odd stories from the Russell family past. Who would have thought all this happened in such a small place!
