Southern Georgia

Georgia and Grandma Mitchell

Paddy and his non-PC head wraps.

Gammy and Jack

Winfield with his ring bearer's gift: bow and arrows.  Thank you, Chapman.

All tuckered out.  

Making soap at a craft fair.  We found an ad for this festival in the woods and decided to check it out.  They had all kinds of old-timey arts like making soap, pottery, leather goods, furniture, wood toys, you name it, they had it.  

This crazy-looking man was braiding ropes (think Indiana Jones) out of deer hide.  I asked him where he got the hide and he stopped braiding, looked at me, and in a thick southern accent said, "from a deer."  

The petting zoo was hilarious.  They had the typical goats, but they also had an enormous turkey that was fluffing his feathers out with great importance.  It was a little scary.

Look how frightened they are!  When they walked out of the pen they all handed back their still half-full cups of goat food to the attendant.  Pretty funny.
