Get out of here!

We returning from visiting relatives in Waldo, Ark. and this time we were returning on US Highway 79.  Dad enjoyed trying new routes, some times getting lost, but we traveled from Minden through Homer, Haynesvville, and Magnolia on 78 and then on 82 to Waldo, returning the same way.

We stopped in Haynesville to visit Dad's cousin, Harry Camp, whose home was downtown on Highway 79. No one was at home but Dad wanted to wait a few minutes to see if anyone would soon return.  Despite Mama calling him back, he wandered into the garden.  I was with him when we heard a loud scream -- "Get out of here" and again even louder, "Get out of here!"  We wondered who was yelling at us, and then we saw -- it was a parrot and he yelled again until we left.
