The water wheel turning

we got busted at the moonshine house, not really it was all in fun, but told family at home it was 500 per person and there were 7 of us.

Nothing but God's beauty as far as the eye could see

This was up the hill from the air bnb we stayed at.  I could live here with no guilty feelings.

we had a fantastic weekend, and we are all ready to go again.  I am so thankful for God's beauty and the friendships made.  I and 1 of the gals have been friends since 1976, one was her sister, another was sis n law and her 3 daughters.   I left home with 2 nieces, 1 nephew, 7 great nephews, 1 great niece, 2 brothers.  I came home with 3 sisters, 3 more nieces, 4 great nieces and 3 more great nephews   Family isn't always blood!
