After the fun beginning to our weekend, we ended up in Manning to finish it up. It was good to be back home and we got to spend some great time with my mom, stepdad, grandmother, sister and all her family, countless cousins and aunts and uncles :). I love that I am from a place where you can see your entire extended family in one fail swoop (is that the way that saying is spelled? never tried to spell it before).
I had really been wanting to see Daddy Scott's grave after the funeral to spend some time. So, my mom took me out to the graveyard and we spent some time there. My uncle had planted a cherry and dogwood tree at the grave that morning and it looked beautiful. We also went around to look at some other relatives' graves, including my great-grandmother whom I am named after. Here are some pictures....

Then, we headed out to the pond house to eat dinner with the family. We grilled out and all the family came. Ryan caught fish and was letting all my nieces and nephew check them out. Then, Big Ken showed up with a turkey he had killed. He decided to clean it out at the pond house and then even dissected the heart for all the kids to see. My nieces ended up bagging up the heart to take to school for show and tell since they were studying the heart in science class....pretty gruesome, I know! I was getting so cracked at how "countrified" the entire weekend was....as much as I forget sometimes, I really am a country girl!!!
I couldn't remember if I had put any pictures of the finished pond house on the blog..so here they are. Isn't it great?!!!
