Nancy and I have my granddaddy Howell's farm that he purchased back in the early 1920's.

We spend every weekend at the farm.

My dad always called the farm the "Home Place" becaues that's where he grew up.

The old barn granddaddy built in the 1930's, the barn door covered by license plates from the 50's, is still standing and in good shape.

Granddaddy's house, that was moved from town in the late 50's, stands vacant across the road.

My uncle sold the house and his share of the farm in the mid 60's.

The Home Place is joined on the North side by 120 acres called the "Ragan Place".

My dad bought the Ragan Place in 1939.

It was once a cotton field and the Ragan house built in the 1890's still stands.

The Home Place is joined on the South side by 5 acres called the "Hunt Place".

My dad spent a lot of his childhood with "Granny" and A.S. ( Anglo Saxon ) Hunt.

We tore down the Hunt house in the mid 60's and used the lumber in my parent's home built in 1968.

A lot of the 100 year old lumber is still stacked in the "potato house".

The "potato house" built in the 1900's still stands.

Probably more history than y'all wanted to know, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
