Zionville’s best
The best neighbors ever, Reene Ann and Pat, welcomed this flatlander with open arms when we built our cabin near them in North Carolina. What an introduction to mountain life! In short order they taught me to play “Boil That Cabbage Down” on the dulcimer; showed me the new baby calves down the road; told me which kinds of rhododendron grew best on what side of the mountain; introduced me to the Roan Valley Auction and the local bluegrass joint; took me to Sweet Aromas restaurant where the dinner hour is a version of the heavenly banquet; helped me put up a porch swing, tried it out, fell to the ground, got up cheerful; and regaled me with a play-by-play account of preparations for the arrival of their 27 baby chicks. Next thing you know I’ll be getting dozens of the freshest eggs around. Now, are they amazing or what? Sue Spirit |
