A trip back in time

When I planned my trip to Virginia to spend the month with my granddaughter, Ella, I left a few days before I needed to be there so that I could stop along the way. My first stop was the Lacoochee reunion, where I had a chance to visit with my cousin whom I hadn't seen for quite a while. After leaving Lacoochee, I drove up to north Florida where I visited another cousin who lives in Jennings. Jennings is a little town just south of the Georgia border. My cousin and her husband have lived there most of their married life. They started out in a little Jim Walter home, and as they needed more room, they added on. Her house is filled with her many talents. Quilts, paintings, antiques. It's just so much fun to go there and see her collections, but most of all, to visit her.

Outside, away from the house stands this cabin. It had originally stood on some land that her husband owned and worked, and he had it moved to their property. It is a fully working house, electricity, plumbing, television, everything that one might need.

I love her kitchen. Can't you remember a kitchen like that, with a curtain to cover the pots and pans? The red accents bring it to life.


It was around four when I was there, and as we were in the kitchen, I was particularly struck by her table with the pitcher, the scales, and Aunt Jemima there, with the sun shining through the panes of glass on them.

I'll share a little more of this interesting cabin tomorrow...also some pictures of my lovely granddaughter. And, of course, I want to finish my exciting biography...yawn.

Thank you all for your comments on my last post. I've been keeping up with you all, even though I hadn't posted.
