Drive-in movie theaters? Who knew?

Category: Uncategorized

Well yesterday, we went to a drive-in movie. It’s where you bring food and such, and you drive into a parking space which is in front of a screen, and you watch the movie from in your car! It’s so much fun! We watched the bee movie! It was funny.

Before we went to the Movie, we went to a covered bridge at a mill call  Kymaulga mill.It’s a mill that makes grain. (they still do!) Even though the mill is falling in the water, they still make grain. They charge you 3$ a person to go in. They do that because it will help them make money so that they can save the mill.

They want to save the mill because it was made in 1867. It almost 200 years old! The people that made this mill, made it so that they could have food during the civil war. It was tucked way in the trees.

It was interesting. We bought some of their grits. Grits are little pieces of corn. They are the pieces that can’t be made into anything. You can only buy grits in the states. They are good. (well the ones that Quaker makes!) The ones that they gave us, where yellow.

They weren’t as good as the ones that are processed. I have to say. I would recommend going there because the people there are friendly, and because it may be gone into the water by the time you go.

At the mill, there is a goose. He is basically the people that live there’s pet. He used to have a mate, but lost her to an accident. Poor thing. As you may know, geese mate once, and they stay together until they die. But the sad thing is, is that he lost it’s mate to a poacher.

The owners of the mill, came out one morning, and saw that the goose was laying down with an arrow in it! The goose was killed with a bow and arrow! The goose is now really sad.

What he does now, is that whenever a car comes and parks, the goose comes and looks at his reflection. He thinks that his reflection is his mate. And whenever a car takes off, he will follow it and start screaming.  The owners are looking for a new mate, because it will  be less hard on him.

It’s so sad to see him there. He only sleeps beside a car, or mirror because he can’t stand to sleep without “her”. It’s so sad. Poor thing. Well I guess I’d better go. Talk to you later.
