Some time what happens by mistake turns out to be good!!

It went like this...   Not long a go; a friend of the family went to a family reunion down here in Dixie...  His  Dad  invited him to meet out at a distant ( that is one you don't see but ever once in a while) Uncle's house in Standing Rock, Alabama... 

He arrived and was welcomed in as one of the nephews... Southern  people are just that way; real friendly... They all sat around and waited for his Dad, Jim Bob to arrive...  Everyone knew Jim Bob...  So They visited and ate Diner then visited and ate Supper...  Well Jim Bob did not arrive; but that was alright, they had him stay over; then they all had a big country breakfast the next morning; and a bunch of the guys took him fishing...  Well his Dad never did show, so he left and went home... 

The next day his DAD called and said " where were you??  We did not see you at the  family reunion... "  He said,  " But I was there..."    Then he found out the his Uncle had moved from that house a couple of years ago...  He was at the wrong family reunion...  His Dad called the family that had invited his son in and explained the confusion...  They said it was alright and he could come back anytime...

BTW: He is invited back to fish every year; so that is how we treat people down Dixie; even if they are at the wrong place at the wrong time... 

The names have been changed to protect the innocence and any person recognized living or dead is purely coinsinadential...  But Standing rock, AL is a real place!!  

Y'all come see us, ya' hear....   See Ya... Kermit
