Great Tecumseh Campout

Sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 80s and low 90s greeted people attending the first Great Tecumseh Campout at the Cal Zorn Recreation Center. The days festivities were to be capped with fireworks and a bonfire at dark. There was about 30 campsites set up thru out the park on Saturday. There were several vendors selling elephant ears and funnel cakes, sausage and hot dogs. It was a wonderful day to relax and enjoy the day. Everyone attending the campout was invited to help paint the large mural set up near the campfire,there was also a pie eating contest,a three legged race, a wheel barrel race. At dark we had about a twenty minute firework show that was pretty awesome ! I hope next year will be bigger and the weather will be great !

trip to Georgia

Just last week me and my 2 kids went down to Colquitt Ga for a visit. While we were there my aunt came over . Her and mom started talking about when they were kids and some of the different terminology my grandparents had. Has anyone ever heard of a foot feed ? That is what they called a gas pedal on a car . How about a cooterhull ? That was a trunk in the car . Anyone heard of a haint , well back in the day the colored folks english wasnt so clear in the south . If they thought a house was haunted , they would say that house is hainted. Or instead or saying ghost , they would say haint . I thought this was some pretty neat stuff.

RAIN

Wow ! Can you believe our weather , more thunder storms. Rain , rain , rain ! Well it makes the grass real green , and Tall . I guess its time to fire up the mower !
