PIGEON ROOST, NC...

Population 30, give or take a few...Home of Grandma Ruth, who'll turn 105 on January 28, 2007... One of my favorite places on earth...
Here are a few photos of her, the barn I played in as a kid, the chicken coop where I got flogged by the rooster when I went to gather eggs while Grandma was milking, and galax, a waxy low growing plant she used to gather by the sack fulls to sell to the folks at the herb market.

I have also had the privilege to vist Pigeon Roost, NC. It is truly a beautiful peaceful place. I have lots of family in the area. Their names include Barnett and Hughes, among others. My grandparents were Garfa and Sena Hughes. They lived on the Toe River. Everyone should go and visit the area.
