My Ridiculous Family

ok, so i decided to share a family story with you guys. last year i was visiting my great aunt in Georgia. she is my mother's father's sister, so she is from my mother's ancestry. we were sitting around talking about random thing and my great aunt was telling us random stories and this one came along.

she told us all that back in the day my family owned Stone Mountain.


when my great aunt said those words we all thought she was crazy. but then the story was confirmed by other elders of my family. my mothers ancestors use to own Stone Mountain. we all asked the same question you are now asking, what happened? she responded, "they sold it to another family for a donkey, a donkey cart, and a bottle of whiskey." WHAT?!!

yes, yes that is a true story. my family was ridiculous enough to sell what would be a future national treasure for a donkey, a donkey cart, and a bottle of whiskey. ugh!!
