An Early Morning Walk — Pub. August 1988 in newspaper.
NOTE: We have a great blog coming tomorrow written by Donna. I just need to make sure I have all the photos in place like she would like. Thank you again for keeping us going. A pre-dawn shower has refreshed this old farm and makes it look new again. Sister (my dog) and I are…
Read MoreEnjoying Tomatoes…from Mrs. Crumly’s published writings.
Remember last February when John and I both planted tomato seed and mine came up but John’s didn’t? Well, I nurtured those tiny plants along and got them in the garden at the right time. Those tiny seeds have furnished us a world of tomatoes. I doubt if we would have tomatoes it I hadn’t…

The fourth Sunday in April has just passed and what memories I have of that Sunday. Fourth Sunday in April was always the all day singin’ at Skirum Methodist Church and it drew a crowd. John’s uncle Merrill used to say “All day singin’, dinner on the ground –the devil’s in the woods and whiskey’s…

As some of you may remember, I have a new teaching position in a different county. I was so excited to get this appointment, but the summer has not allowed me to celebrate as I would have liked. Hightower Trail Elementary School is located in Rockdale County, Conyers, GA. I have been in the middle…
Read MoreThe Wall is Done!
As some of you may remember, the decorative rock fell off the front of my house in late May or early June. Needless to say, with all the sickness and death of those months this minor issue at home was ignored. It was not structural and we could live without a rock facade, Mark, the…
