 Uh, oh!  Here's some more horns!

I remember a story my Mom told about one time when they were on vacation up in the mountains at Harmon's cottages where my Dad liked to fish and us kids liked to swim in the North Branch of the South Potomic River.  There was a cold water springs that fed into the river.  One day my Dad got a watermelon and put in the water to keep it cold for dinner that night. Then he decided to go fishing. My Mom and Aunt Grace decided to play a trick on him.  While he was fishing, they hid the watermelon.  When he went to look for it that night he thought someone had stolen it! They had a good laugh about that!
