Blueberry Adventure
At the end of a bumpy mountain road lies a hideaway from Watauga's
usually College town bustle. Follow the neatly painted wooden signs off
of Highway 421 and onto Brownwood in Deep Gap to Mr. Chuck Lieberman's
family farm. Mr. Lieberman has been a neighbor for 29 years,
and I am grateful that now I am able to experience this sense of
community with my own children. Mr. Lieberman has constructed a crafty
homemade swinging bridge adjoining his blueberry patch. For years I have
enjoyed grabbing a bucket, filling it at leisure, and stuffing my
payment into the tiny slot in his rustic barn. Sometimes he's there,
other times he's not, and I jump at the chance to savor the example of
old-time honesty. I enjoy these small moments. I know I am making
memories because I have built so many there myself.
