Who are you?

[New-born baby]

This is my middle daughter's gentleman friend (Kevin) doing his audition for the Food Network in my daughter's kitchen in Chicago.

He's slick alright. Not a hair on his head. My wife says, "He won't get any hairs in the food!"

Cool house...

Too bad global warming is going to cause the oceans to rise enough to flood the whole world. We should all sell our SUV's and send all of our hard earned money to the U.N. now!

Al Gore said it...
I believe it...
I must be so...

someone at sometime built a dormer across the rear and removed one of those three windows.

Ski and Doug,
You've got eagle eyes. The dormer was added around 1973. The porch was expanded to a large wrap around shortly after the 1908 picture. I think they reconfigured the columns they just don't all show on the new picture. The missing window was an upstairs bathroom. We redid it in the early 1980's and got rid of the window.

The original slate roof lasted almost 80 years until we replaced it. Still didn't leak, but was crumbling. The turret is a 7 sided bedroom. If we ever build a new house it will have at least 1 turret. We've lived here 26 years. A previous family was here for about 40 years until the last member, a spinster aunt died under the old golden delicious apple tree in the back yard. There was no driveway and no hot water until the 1970's. I think they parked a horse and buggy in an old small garage structure accessible through the neighboring driveway that belonged supposedly to the original owners' parents farm house.

My family owned this old Methodist Mission in Eastern Kentucky for about 10 years. We lived there off and on, between military stints. I live in Florida now, but my roots are Appalachian. It was built in the 1920's. I found this photo of it while searching the internet. Unfortunately, the person that bought it from us tore both buildings down. I'm not sure why... ???

how much property was there webs. you see that fence and the hedge row planted in it. they used to plant hemp in their fences like that in kentucky and tennesse and we used to go down there and pick it. this was back in the late and early 60's and 70's. pretty neat place you had there. were you a military brat growning up webs.

Hemp was Kentucky's #1 crop in 1900, and was a world leader in its production for rope. Then the New Orleans jazz crowd started smoking the stuff, and the US Congress outlawed its production. That's the real reason Appalachia is poor.

My family are tobacco growers from Barren County, Ky. The farm was settled in 1813 and passed down through the family until my dad sold it just a few months before leukemia took his life in 1997. There was 167 acres. If you google map search, you can find Owen Road in Barren County, near Glasgow, and that road dead ends into the center of the place--right at the home place. In fact the entire road runs into the farm. My grandfather built the house when my father was one year old. My father was born in a log cabin. The house is very sturdily built of oak.

During the Civil War Braxton Bragg's army passed right through the homeplace in its invasion of KY in 1862. There is a historical marker just over the hill from our place signifying the event(s). It is marker 698, and you can read it here: http://kentucky.gov/kyhs/hmdb/Marker...ounty&county=5

that hemp was growing wild in the hedge rows and we got chased and shot at by a few farmers who didn't want any northerners down there picking for free. we started going up to the farm houses and offering to pay to pick.
