Center, Metcalfe Co., KY - Leaving the big city lights of Orlando, FL, Chelsea and Kayla Quindardo migrated to the Bluegrass State for a little rest and relaxation while visiting their grandfather, Ronald Bain, and Uncle Eli.



It is apparent that Uncle Eli felt the girls should learn some old fashion values, so it was off to work on the Virgil Nelson Farm, in Center, KY, where the girls learned to be apprentice muleskinners.

"These city girls catch on fast, however they have not got the hang of dippin' yet" their Uncle Eli said.

So as a going away present he presented both girls with their very own can of snuff. Something tells me the snuff never made it to Florida.
