Thank you so much to Hope and Sandy and Chip Craver for many happy visits to bounce on the Trampoline and then go cool off in the beautiful Lake Murray at their dock! They allowed us to take Granny Kitty Crout on a John Boat ride I will never forget back in summer 1990. We also went to North Myrtle with Sandy and Chip in 1991 and caught a bunch of hermit crabs that didn't survive the trip home to my grandparents house in Columbia. Many, Many, happy memories though at that lake house and I hope the kids will keep it in the Craver family as I still look in on exact spot on Google Maps where I caught a Pickerel and Granny served it as it ate the entire lure whole. I really miss the good ole days playing at the Craver residence. Love you all! Thanks again Craver family! Sandy is forever in my heart!
