The Scenic Loop!

My sister and her husband (Dawn & Jerry) came over today to see Alfred's cabin and eat dinner. I fried a big pile of deer steak with all the fixins and it was sure 'nuff good eatin! After we ate, we went to the river. Dawn and me went down on the Gator and Ferd and Jerry took the tractor. We sat on the porch for a while and watched the river go by. It was nice and I think they enjoyed it. At least, that is, until I decided to take a different route on the way back to the house! I called myself taking a "better" trail back up the hill but somehow I took a wrong turn and Dawn ended up getting cold-cocked in the head by a small tree limb! We just sat there and laughed at the situation I had gotten us in! We were laughing so hard we couldn't even speak! It was SO funny! Anyway, after we regained our composure, I eased on through, knowing I wouldn't be able to back out and certainly wouldn't be able to turn around. Then comes the humongous thorn vine! I'm not joking....this thing had thorns 2" long and from out of nowhere, WAM, it got both of us right in the head! We didn't even see it coming! I was bleeding from the evil looking thing but it was still so blasted funny! I have five punctures and I think Dawn has three. At least she wasn't bleeding like me so that was good! Ferd and Jerry took the main road so I was afraid they wouldn't realize we were stuck in no-man's land! I guess by now he just knows to watch for me so when they got to the place where we were to emerge (and we weren't emerging) he decided to come check! AND THERE WE WERE! I officially had the Gator in a bind! Ferd took the tractor and pushed over a small tree that cleared my path. I then drove out as pretty as you please! We went to the house, cleaned our wounds and sat outside the rest of the afternoon! I know my sister is a city girl but I sure hope she had a good time touring the scenic loop! I know I did! God is good, all the time! :)
