We had a down-day at the lake today in preparation for the long drive tomorrow. Gerry took Billy and Lindsay out in the boat while Karl honed his artillery skills by shooting his BB gun all day. Laundry, snack purchases at the grocery store, and organizing and packing the car consumed me. I did find a few minutes for a swim. The one good thing about strip mines in this area is that they produce very nice swimming and fishing holes.

Lindsay and I picked fresh veggies out of Trudy’s garden. The cherry tomatoes didn’t make it to the house, but the green beans are coming with us to NC. Trudy cut fresh lettuce for our salads at lunch. Apparently cleaning muddy lettuce is not one of my strong suits, but regardless of chewing dirt, YUM!
The evening was spent around the campfire with Gerry’s mom and siblings and all the cousins. Everyone finally had to stand still long enough for a few photos.
