"Go down this a ways awhile, until you get to the place where the Johnsons' house used to be (burned down 30 years ago, poor dears), then go just a mite further (mite = technical term) until you get to the big oak tree (you know the one, not the biggish one, or the really large one, just the big one), until you get to the pond, (which you can't see this time of year because it's hidden by all the trees and the water level gets real low in summer, but's it's back there)... etc" Yep. <br /><br />Come to think of it, it was like that in the UK too. Drive until you get to the break in the stone wall (stone walls everywhere), and turn at the old millstone (which has turned on its side and can't be seen from the road) ... and lots of other helpful landmarks that you can't see when driving in winter because it's so dark most of the day. <br /><br />I guess it's a case of 'Ya'll ain't from around here are ya? ;D Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-89277856023511980802013-04-16T03:37:15.721+02:002013-04-16T03:37:15.721+02:00Great sleuthing!
