Cherryville, NC August 20 and 22nd, 2005

We arrived in Cherryville to visit an old friend. Tony hadn't seen Don in over 19 years. It sure was great to see Don and Sam again. They were so hospitable. They showed us what Southern hospitality is all about. They also taught us a new language. We learned such words as "critters, taters, ya et yet? yont to? purty and young ens. We also had some down home cooking. If you are ever down this way you will have to try the liver mush. (Yummy). North Carolina is another beautiful state. As you can see by the pictures, Donnie and Sam have a beautiful gentleman's farm. They hosted an outdoor cook out. Steaks were cooked on an open fire and afterwards we had a marshmallow roast. Tony kept telling Don what an expert horseman he was so Don finally asked him to prove it. When it came time for the ride, Tony was on the gelding and Donnie was on the stallion. (By the way, Don had to saddle both horses). Now we're off to the Carolina coastline.
