365...24-7 LRoom Event
Mother Nature's Natural Wonder revealed
AFRICAN Continent shaped tree stump
on TheLRoom property just purchased in May 2024.

Back Story:
TheLRoom upstairs lounge is dedicated to African and African American
History which includes Collectible Art - Books - African Carvings - Artifacts etc.
During the Summer-Fall 2024 North Carolina heavy rain and windstorms three very large trees fell on the rear lawn of TheLRoom.  Luckily no damage was done to the house.  It took 5 men and 6 hours to cut, mulch and stack fallen trees and trim others.  Just as the men were finishing making firewood and stacking it and tree stumps, it was getting dark outside, and it began to rain again.   
The next morning, I went into the yard to examine the land and check on how the wood was stacked...To MY SURPISE and SHOCK one of the stumps that was stacked in front had the
EXACT SHAPE of the AFRICAN CONTINENT!   You're welcome to come view this Ancestral Wonder by appointment
