Susan and her brother Mike wanted to see if they could locate the site of the old family homestead near Warrenton, GA, where their mother grew up and the site of the family cemetery, so today was a rest day in which we first spent time at the Warrenton library and the Warren county courthouse.
After lunch at the local Chinese restaurant Mike drove us out to Little Briar Creek Baptist Church, the church their mother attended when she was a young girl. The church was founded in 1777 and is believed to be one of the oldest Baptist churches in Georgia. The church is also unique because there is a spring on the church grounds from which water can be pumped into the outdoor baptistry. 
In the area around the spring, the church has placed benches, built a gazebo, and planted several azalea bushes. It is a very attractive site and one which offers lots of opportunities for church activities. We also visited the cemetery across from the church, and Susan and Mike were able to identify the names of several relatives engraved on the grave stones. We then attempted to locate the site of the family homestead and cemetery, but we were not successful. We did locate two family cemeteries in the area, but they were for other families. We were expecting rain during the afternoon, but there was none, making us wonder if the front which was supposed to pass through the area might be delayed for a day. While we were out tromping around in the bushes, Judy and Buzz were getting a sumptuous dinner ready for a crowd including the four of us, their two sons and their families, and Judy's mother. It was a real treat for us to see and talk with Susan's relatives, and we both had a great time. Later that evening at about 10:00 PM, the weather radio in the house sounded the alarm and notified us of a tornado watch for the area. 
Shortly thereafter, the status was changed to a tornado warning, and we began to hear thunder. There was also quite a downpour, and we went to bed wondering if the weather would allow us to start out on our trip the first thing in the morning.
