I’m sure my son or any other youngster would listen to me
trying to describe how busy I am and reply “you’ve been home since when and
that’s all you’ve done!” I guess the truth is, for a variety of reasons it
takes me longer to get things done. So here we are at summers end and I haven’t
completed everything I had planned, oh the stress of it all, I need a vacation!

Lucky for me we had planned on attending a wedding in North Carolina, so
unfinished projects be damned, we’re off on another road trip!
It was an easy run of a little over 200 miles to the city
park at Reidsville North Carolina from our home
in Myrtle Beach.
The park on Lake Reidsville has a nice campground and we
had reserved a waterfront site. We had a beautiful view of the lake out the
windshield.
The wedding is south of Reidsville in Kernersville but we
chose our location so we could take a short drive up to Axton Virginia on
Saturday morning to visit Millie’s brother and his wife. Earnest and Nancy are doing pretty
well all things considered. This was my second visit to their home and it was
as enjoyable as my first, they’re good folks and easy to feel comfortable
around. We picked some home grown tomatoes from their garden and they are
delicious, the best we’ve had this season.
On Saturday afternoon we attended the wedding of Kimberly
Brooke Yow and Robert Kyle Self. The wedding celebration was performed outdoors
at Dewberry Manor, a farm house setting banquet facility.

The groom, Robert Self is the grandchild of Millie’s sister
Lucille and her husband Eddie Self. I got to meet both of Eddie and Lucille’s
sons and some of their grandchildren. It was interesting to but faces with
names I’ve heard about. Millie is southern you know and story telling is part
of their heritage so I’m treated to many family narratives. Another of Millie’s
sisters, Betty and her husband Paul were also at the wedding. They have the
blueberry farm near Mount
Rogers that I’ve written
about in previous blogs.

The weather which looked threatening all day held off and
the wedding and reception both were enjoyed outdoors on Dewberries large courtyard.
From all accounts, a good time was had by all; they were still dancing when we
left!
