THIS IS OUR FIRST STAY UPON MENTONE MOUNTAIN. WE STAYED AROUND THE MENTONE AREA BEFORE WHEN WE GO THE THE "LONGEST YARD SALE" EVERY YEAR. THIS WAS PROBABLY OUR 6TH YEAR. SINCE YOU HAVE TO RESERVE A CABIN FOR TWO DAYS...WE CAME PREPARED. WE FIRST STOPPED IN FORT PAYNE AND BOUGHT MEAT AND VEGETABLES FOR KABOBS...STEAK, CHICKEN, SHRIMP, BELL PEPPERS AND ONIONS. DOESN'T THIS JUST MAKE YOUR MOUTH WATER! DOES MINE! ALSO, OF COURSE, WE BROUGHT THE CARDS. WE, ALSO, WENT TO DESOTO STATE PARK TO SEE THE FALLS. WE DECIDED TO GO BY THE LODGE FOR OLD TIMES SAKE. WE REALLY ENJOYED THE YARD SALE BOTH DAYS. WE DID NOT GET MUCH JUNK, THIS TIME. BOTH DAYS WE ENJOYED OURSELVES AFTER A LONG DAY OF WALKING. IT WAS SO NICE TO GET BACK TO THE CABIN AND JUST RELAX. I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS TO GET INTO THE JACUZZI. WE WANTED TO ENJOY THE JACUZZI INSTEAD OF THE HOT TUB BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOTIN THE HEAT ALL DAY. IT WAS STILL HOT... EVEN IN THE EVENINGS. HUBBY BEFORE HE RETIRED WAS THE DIRECTOR OF TRAINING AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHERE WE LIVE...MY FIREFIGHTER HUSBAND..."PUT OUT MY FIRE", LOL! LITTERALLY! I CAUGHT MY HAIR ON FIRE LEANING TO CLOSE TO A CANDLE. WE SURE MADE MEMORIES ON THIS TRIP! THIS WAS REALLY A WONDERFUL AND EXCITING TIME. (EVEN THOUGH... I HAD THE EXPERIENCE WITH MY HAIR.)! THIS TRIP WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES! YES... WE PLAYED RUMMY AND I HAD MY CHOCOLATE CANDY BAR, TOO! LORD, I DO, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD TIMES! THESE MEMORIES MEAN SO MUCH IN THE NOT SO GOOD TIMES. PTL!
