On John's Creek

On John's Creek We spent the weekend on a mountain above John's Creek, which is in a remote area south of Cullowhee, North Carolina. We were the guests of our friends, Ken and Renee, and Renee's brother, Steve, and his wife, Helen, who were wonderful hosts. Sarah and I adventured down to play in the creek, and Helen let Sarah and Sherry ride her horse. Unfortunately, the horse was stung by a bee while Sherry was riding her and reared up on her hind legs. That's a bit too much of a thrill for a city girl, but she was uninjured.

We got home yesterday shortly before noon, and Mom came out and brought Grace for a visit. Sherry bought the cartoon movie Rango for Sarah yesterday at the grocery store, so Sarah and Grace watched it while the adults talked. We had a good weekend.
