Richard grew up partially in the mountains of KY. I mean, you would'nt find it if you weren't trying to get there...that kind of rural, and in the mountains. So we had been promising his dad for a while now that we'd come up, so this weekend, we did.
Now Lynch, a former bustling coal mining town...is just a mountain town now. When Richard was gowing up there were at least 3 high schools in the county. One shut down while he was in high school and then another had their last graduating class in 2007-2008. Now there's just one county high school. Where I grew up is just the opposite. There was only one high school in the county when I was growing up and now there are 5 or 6.
At any rate, we got to see Richard's dad and step-mom and his nieces/sisters (his dad actually adopted them but by birth they are his nieces), and we saw the little baby of one of the nieces. I was going to take pictures but they said they'd come back later and never did...so I can't show ya baby pics. He's a cute little guy though. His skin looks american indian to me and he had a head full of dark hair. (no, I didnt hold him---y'all that know me know how I am about babies).
We did go up on the mountain and take pics and take pics on the way back home, so I am sharing some of those...what beauty!
Also, I have to mention...if you ever go to Unicoi, TN...go to Maple Farms Family Dining! There's a pic of the place that I'm including and their food is absolutely awesome!
Enjoy the photos!
