Josh and I extend our heartfelt condolences to Governor Jim Martin and his family for the loss of First Lady Dottie Martin. I distinctly remember when she established NCDOT’s wildflower program to beautify our highways. She was a lovely person who also used her platform as First Lady to support young people affected by drug use and sexual violence. As a North Carolinian and as First Lady, I am so grateful for Dottie Martin's life and the impact she made across our state.
In memory of Dottie, I placed a bouquet of wildflowers in the Executive Mansion’s Ladies’ Parlor. Flags at state facilities across North Carolina will be lowered at half staff until sunset Monday, October 5, in her honor.
Here’s a video clip of the spectacular fall colors reflecting on Burns Lake in Whitefield, N.H., as the sun was preparing to set tonight. This is in northern New Hampshire where peak is near.
Dolly may have performed this in 2023, but if there was ever a song written for the present times… it may be this one. 🔥
With the midterms coming, this one hits a little different...

I would have loved to meet Jean Shepard! I know she was a ki! she reminds me of my grandmother from the thick accent to the outfit.
“She couldn’t even spell it.” 😭😭😭
