The Welcoming Committee

After driving for hours on a four-lane highway that turned into a two-lane highway that turned into a one-lane highway, we took the turn to Great Grandma and Great Gunker's farm at the big house on the hill. As the one-lane road turned into a dirt path, we were greeted by a hyper black lab who darted out in front of the car causing me to stop for fear of running him over. He was barking like mad, jumping up on the driver's side window, and circling in front of the car. I could see a woman yelling at him from the farmhouse in the field and imagined her screaming, "Quit frightening the city folk!" Whatever she said, that dog ran back to her and we made it to Great Grandma and Great Gunker's house without incident.
