i forget to answer the falling off the horse one. OF COURSE that was me and casey.... and it was due to a faulty saddle!!
I laughed, then I cried, then I laughed while I cried at your post. I have the horse fall with Jess and Casey on video!
every once in a while when i am in pops truck i get a whiff of the mountains, like some old dirt that has been riding in the crevices somewhere kicks loose and it has that sweet smell of an old dirt mountain road....or maybe i am just crazy, but i like to think i am smelling the mountains.
jill I loved this post. i miss it so much, made me tear up a bit looking at all the pics and reading the questions and answering them in my head!
WOW!! I could totally hear all the things as I was reading them and remember all those great times up the mountians! I knew al the answers...YEAH ME!
Potter County made us the close nit family we are today...thank you Pop and Gram...I love you
everything that they said.. i agree.. i agree to everything.... :)
When I read this and of course answered all the questions- I looked at the pictures and cried. Those were my favorite memories. I miss the mountains soooo much. Pop and Gram gave us something special in letting us share their mountain house. Looking at everyone having fun together is why our family is great. (As you know- the cousins even can fight like brothers and sisters- Right Jill & Scott!!!!
