The Mixon family held their annual July 4 celebration on Tuesday, July 4 at our place on Black River. There was much eating of hotdogs, hamburgers and various chips, dips and such, as usual. What would a Mixon family event be without an abundance of food?
For anyone who isn't familiar with Black River, it is a relatively quiet, black-water river that originates in Sumter County and gently winds its way through the eastern South Carolina flatlands and cypress swamps, where it merges with the Pee Dee, right befor
e they empty into Winyah Bay at Georgetown, S.C.All of the kids enjoyed themselves in the river. Jumping into the deep water from Grandaddy's dock seems to be a favorite activity among the kids (and some adults!), as well as wading in the shallower waters at the landing.
And here's a picture of the man who makes it all possible: my daddy, Phillip Mixon! Here he is relaxing on the dock, undoubtedly telling a joke and watching the kids enjoy themselves.
