Hospitality As Sweet As Georgia Peaches



While visiting Uncle Jan & Aunt Sarah in Warner Robbins, Georgia they took us to Lane's Peach Packing Plant. What an amazing opportunity it was for the girls to see how peaches are picked, sorted, washed,boxed,and shipped to various places all around the world. Later after arriving in Va Sarah found out that Grandpa Giles worked at the Lane Peach Packing Plant when he was young man. Now that's pretty cool! After our tour of the plant we all sat down on the front porch in rocking chairs and ate some homemade peach ice cream. Boy was it ever good! We then headed over to the local Cracker Barrel for some good southern home cooking. Sarah decided to try Chicken and Dumplings for the first time and totally fell in love with them. Her Daddy and Grandpa would be proud! After dinner Aunt Sarah took the girls into the Country Store and they both got to pick out a special gift from their Aunt & Uncle. Then when we got back to their house they treated the girls to some brownies and some more fresh peaches. This time I tried the peaches and they were so sweet and juicy! Georgia truly does grow some of the best peaches around! The next morning we awoke to Uncle Jan preparing pancakes, bacon, and fresh fruit for breakfast. He purchased the pancake mix from a mill nearby and they were definitely some of the best pancakes I've had in a very long time... Sorry Tom:( - They were really good!
Thank you Uncle Jan & Aunt Sarah for your amazing hospitality! The girls and I loved every minute of our stay. Our only regret is that we wish we could have stayed longer. We're looking forward to visiting again when we return to the States. We love you and will miss you!

I love Lane Packing Company. Gosh, it's been a long time since I've been there. Looks like a blast, and glad to see you guys are enjoying that good Southern Hospitality.

Love you!
