The Petting Farm The River Slide. This very old, very loud tractor runs the very homemade River Slide. (click on this picture. You've gotta see their expressions!)
This is nothing like the Log Ride at King's Dominion. When this thing hits the water it feels like you've hit concrete. Then the very old, very loud tractor pulls the car back up the hill. Of course Evelyn was content to spend the rest of the afternoon in the pool. "Mom! Watch me do a handstand!" Yep, summer's here!
Rayford Glynn Mays, Jr. was my father-in-law. He was born in 1921 in Birmingham, Alabama. My love and admiration for him runs very deep. He was a man of strong principles who made a significant difference for good in the lives of many underprivileged people throughout his life. His compassion for “the least of these” was genuine as indicated by his generous nature. I loved him very, very much. I married his son, after all! Following the death of his dear wife of 57 years, Matilda, we had the privilege of having him live with us. Sadly, after moving to a larger house to better accommodate him, he passed away after nine short months. We decided to name our home in his memory.
