On the Road to Charlotte

We are back from "Jersey Boys"  and had a wonderful weekend...weather and entertainment wise.  I usually travel with the camera in my lap as we drive along so I can snap shots of interesting things we pass.  I've mentioned in the past, that flying by something at 60 miles an hour does present me with a few issues.  By the time I say, "I want a picture of that" we are half a mile past it, but I did manage to slow down my speed demon enough to get some interesting pictures.

Does anyone know why there are so many doors in these trailers?    We're stumped.

My daughters would probably think there was a time I could have won this.  The Hollerin Contest at Spivey Corners, North Carolina and it's "National" too.

I've posted about other local events our small towns host.  I've been to all kinds of festivals, but this one is new to me.

Being fairly new to the south, I was not and am still not used to seeing grave markers or stones in fields or close to the road.  This one was in a tobacco/cotton ( I've read both now)  field, all around it was planted.  Close, was another one.

Standing in one spot I was able to snap both of these pictures.  At least this one had a fence.  So, I wondered about that lonely marker, all alone in the field and had to go check it out.

Looks like Lizzie didn't make it back here to lie beside her husband, but I did find a article ( good ole google   that says she is, in fact, buried next to her husband.  Mr. Lee was a black man that farmed the these fields for years.  The other stones, it says, also have the last name of Lee on them, but no first names.  Puzzling isn't it?

Tomorrow I'll share our Diners, Drive ins and Dives experience and a couple of other things.
