Hello Everyone, I returned from my trip to NC on March 25. I had a wonderful time. North Carolina is a beautiful state. So much so, my family and I are planning to move there. We will probably be living in the Raleigh area by this summer. I spent a few days (not as much as I wanted) in Rutherford County and Cleveland County. I had SUCH a good time. Thank you Kim Philbeck Wood (my Wilkinson "cousin") for being my tour guide. Kim and I found the creeks and river our ancestors lived on. And had quite an adventure doing it. I hope before we do that again I grow a few extra inches so I can get up into the truck a little easier...lol. I am a city girl, so going thru cow pastures and thru the woods was an experience for me. But I loved every minute of it. I took pictures while there of First Broad River and some of the creeks around Lawndale. I will be posting them on my website as soon as I get them into the computer. It has been a long time since I have updated my website but hope to get it current and start posting information on a regular basis again. Thanks for listening to my ramblings and stop by my website in the next week if you'd like to see the Cleveland County pictures. Melody Booker http://www.insearchofancestors.com
