Now, lets tell you about barn dances in our area, they are always something special, the host has something to celebrate, a wedding, a funeral, a birt... and christening, a barn raising, or well digging, hard punishment or hanging for something really bad, or, as in this case a branding. We don’t get together hereabouts sept for thanksgiving, and barn dances so you can see its something extraordinary, and most folk well attend, if they can the k**s stay home to see the a****ls fed and milked.. Whilst watching this out of the corner of her eye with undisguised interest, Darya turned to Beth:‘Thank you, both of you – thank you so much!

"Okay, if you'll quit beating me up I'll thinkpositively." That led to her kicking me again for spite."So I hear it's supposed to snow tonight?" Jacob asked."Yeah, but don't you go jinxing it!" I said with a warning..
