On The Farm

This year, we spent Thanksgiving with Cheryl's side of the family (and more), at a farmhouse in rural southwest Georgia.

Cheryl's brother's wife's sister's farm house.
Yeah, that's it.  It's near Colquitt, GA....roughly: Here.

They don't live there -- it's more for vacationing, hunting, renting out, etc.
m2005-1152.jpg Most of the cars of everyone that was there.  I think there were 24 people, 3 large turkeys, 1 large ham, 7 pies, and plenty of tasty leftovers.
m2005-1157.jpg Cheryl's brother, Al, Cheryl's mom, me, and Cheryl, of course...Oh, and one of the turkey deep fryers at the left.
m2005-1158.jpg Cheryl's nephew, Cole (far left), and niece, Sara (far right) and a couple of their cousins.
m2005-1159.jpg Cheryl's sister-in-law, Jen...and....um....darn, I should know this....too many new names for me, I guess.  Possibly Cheryl's brother's wife's brother?  Sorry, whoever you are.

(Having 36 aunts & uncles and countless cousins myself, you would think I'd be better at remembering names....but I'm terrible at it.)

m2005-1165.jpg We stayed at The Tarrer Inn in Colquitt -- a Bed & Breakfast that had a wonderful breakfast buffet (as if we needed more food ;-).

This is us in front of their Christmas tree, just before we left.

m2005-1169.jpg What's that?  Snow in Georgia?!
m2005-1172.jpg It kind of looks like snow, but...
m2005-1174.jpg It's cotton, ready to be harvested.
m2005-1175.jpg A lot of it already was.  They bail it up into these huge blocks that they leave at the road side of the field, presumably awaiting a truck to come and pick it up.  I wonder how they get this huge thing on to the trucks?
