Zink Residence, St. Mary’s, Ga.
What an interesting week reacquainting with the Zinks individually and as a family unit. It’s barrel of kids and animals; three girls, two beagles, nine chickens and a pig. Hyperactivity reigns from the crowing rooster’s wake up call until youngsters eyes droop at bedtime. School, church, girls scouts, play, homework, animal husbandry, cooking, laundry, dishes overfill the day; it’s a distant memory to me. Youth only lasts so long, soon we forget how we made it through the turbulent stages of family, work, finances and lists packed with important to-dos.
The Catfish Festival Parade in nearby Kingsland, Ga., was the big event today. It was a lot of fun for the kids, parents and grandparents!
