Jasper, GA
Kathy and I had a pleasant visit with cousin Tug in Jasper, GA and are now set up at son Lee’s in Lyman, SC. I did manage to extract the fifth-wheel from Tug’s long and winding driveway without too much difficulty. The only hitch was a small dimple in my right front fender caused by an encounter with a sneaky fence post which was lurking just out of my vision (low and close to the truck). Despite doubts, fulfilling this task meant that we did not become permanent residents with our GA cousin (though he graciously offered us housing.
Monday, Tug drove us to Atlanta where we visited the Oakland Cemetery (http://www.oaklandcemetery.com/). It was an interesting tour as it is a historical site and those buried there represent a significant portion of Georgia’s history. Bobby Jones and Margaret Mitchell are interred here. I also visited the grave of my great-great-grandfather. As it was a day trip, we also drove to Stone Mountain where I saw the Tuggle house where my cousin was raised. Visited the Stone Mountain Cemetery and visited the burial sites of numerous ancestors of various Tuggle, Britt, Venable genealogy. Afterward, we journeyed to the Dekalb Farmers Market. UNBELIEVABLE! Check it out on the web - (http://www.dekalbfarmersmarket.com/). We shopped and dined there before returning to Jasper in the early evening. It was a wonderful day.
We arrived here in SC yesterday afternoon. Lee helped me set up and we are now comfortably ensconced (to make somebody or yourself comfortably established, as though ready to stay a long while) for the next week, or so. Lee had just returned from Iowa where he had purchased, and took delivery of an ultra-light aircraft. He located a hanger for storage so I helped him unload, and return, the borrowed trailer. Afterward, he, Laurie, Kathy and I went to Copper River Restaurant for soup and salad.
