The descending twists of Sanders Ridge Road are a challenge whatever vehicle I'm driving. Jim roars down with old 'Snortn' Nortn' towing a load of firewood without missing a beat. Had you rolled by the 'Whitehurst Estate' at the hour mentioned, you might have caught me at the lower farm feeding the goats and the barn cats.

I haven't taken up goat-keeping in my declining years, but it has been interesting to help with evening 'chores' when our good neighbors are away.

Fresh Air Produce is a frequent destination for eggs, new potatoes, and whatever the Beachy family may have on offer. - Sharon Whitehurst
