Posted on November 9, 2013 by Billie Crumly — No Comments ? The ground here in the yard is brown with fallen Water Oak leaves.  As you turn in our driveway, on the left the Possum Haw is loaded with red berries. The leaves are still intact, but when they drop the Possum Haw will…

NOTE:  Again I am sorry for the delay in new post. We just have a lot going on in each of our lives right now. New post will be up a soon as time permits.  I can remember how Aunt Bill talk the night she called me about these photos. She hated so bad to…

As it would happen, our old truck broke down while I was driving it on this past Saturday.  AAA towed it to the house; Mark and I were going to add water as it had over heated and deliver it to the repair shop, Conyers Imports and Domestic Auto Repair, on Monday afternoon.  Well, the…

NOTE: Click each photo to see a larger view. I recently traveled to Clermont, Fl. with my mother and sister to my aunt’s memorial service, Mrs. Virginia Austin York. Aunt “Sis” is what we called her.
