We just, we just love getting into the mountains and roaming and exploring the mountains. Go someplace you had never been. And as kids, we used to love a lot of these big old- we got kudzu now, we didn’t have that much growing up- but the big grapevines, big old wall grapevines, grow up a tree. And you cut those grapevines loose, and you know, back it off up the hill and swing on a grapevine. You know, you pull and tug on it. And we’d have fun in the woods. And it was a big thing to get to go to the river and get in the swimming hole and play and have fun like that. Then, as you get older, you know, it’s hunting and all that good stuff. Just all good memories, and we was all friends, and everybody was like family.
