place the kids call....."Wood Hinge"

covered bridges in that area of West Virginia

My Cousin Kelly & Amy's home in West Virginia where
we spent the weekend.  This house is beautiful inside and
out.....just like what you see in the movies ! 

Ryan & Wyatt with their chickens.....they took me for a
stroll one morning down to feed the chickens. They our
ran me and by the time I got there.....this is what I found !

The kids swimming in Matt & Kim's pond.

I'm not a fan of Cherries but these were absolutely devine !

Back Row (r-l) Matt, Kelly, Seth, & Megan
sitting in order from oldest to youngest.

My family in West Virginia is due to my cousin Sue Rhoden.  She passed
away several years ago and this is her husband Darrell and their children.
She had 5 boys before she finally got that GIRL....Megan in whom
is so much like her mom. My mom and I had a wonderful trip out to see
them a couple of weeks ago and I'm ready to go again maybe in a couple
of years when I can drag DJ out there too !
