I took my kids to a state park in Mississippi last summer and asked them about what they thought when we finished a day of hiking.  Here’s what my angels said:

• Chairlifts need to be in some places so that we can get to the top without having to hike to them.
• Need more signs so we know what to look for in nature.
• A McDonald’s would be nice at the middle.
• Too many rocks in the mountains.

So this year we’re staying home. Money is tight as it is – I didn’t have much to spare and then last month the car broke down. I wasn’t sure how to pay for it, but then I found I could pawn my car, with Car Title Loans in Millbrook. I kept the car, of course, but used the money for the mechanic shop. I don’t like borrowing, but it was something I knew I could pay back over a few weeks.  It was a perfect answer to my problems, my own mountain to climb, but we got it done.  I called friends all around, in Autaugaville, Billingsley, Booth, Prattville, Marbury, to let them know about well this works.
