Mayberry Family Reunion

Look how dirty the girls are, they are covered in that fine mountain dirt that sticks to everything. I have learned to not even try and wash them until it's meal or bedtime. If you do clean them the dirt is back on them in under five minutes.

The girls along with a bunch of their cousins are fishing on the Black River which is south of Big Lake. We didn't catch anything, we never do. We did play in the stream with the crawdads making them grab a stick and then pulling them out. That fun ended fast we a snake crawled out of the weeds right where we were standing. We ran away as fast as we could. You have to mentally picture what we must have looked like. One minute we are playing in the water, a picture of bliss. The next second there is screaming and kids yelling. Seconds later everything is picked up; supplies, shoes and small kids. Everyone came running from the spot with their arms loaded with their eyes wide with fright.
