Hubby and I went to the annual Heritage Day celebration for our county. There were lots of displays as well as access to the museum. They were washing clothes in a washpot and hanging them on the line, looping tobacco, blacksmithing, making candles. There was bluegrass music and square dancing. They asked for volunteers to judge an apple pie contest. I had just finished off a barbecue plate and thought dessert would be nice so I volunteered. Two men also volunteered. We were given a bottle of water and told to wash out our mouths between tasting different pies. We were given opportunity to taste 6 different pies. The first one was terrible and it got worse after that. I learned two things. Number one, I should have baked them a pie, number two, be careful what you volunteer for.
