Progress on my former back yard: After clearing and grading, Sammons Funeral Home is paving their new parking lot. A great improvement in the neighborhood.

1978 Guzman Family at Million Pines Festival
A Great Day at Crow-Mart 11/07/08
The temperature today in Soperton is predicted to be a high of 80 degrees, so some of the Crow-Mart gang were sitting on the outside pew in their short-sleeve shirts. Signs in the window advertise some of the stock-in-trade --- everything from fish bait to new mattresses. Ballroom dancing lessons are seasonal.
L-R: Buddy Byrd, Crow Moxley, and Jack Lawrence. Kennon Peebles (as usual) was the only one working inside the store.

Jean Gillis Park
It's a beautiful day in Soperton, and the leaves in Jean Gillis Park are at their peak. The Dave Gillis log house is the oldest house in Soperton, even older than the town. It once stood near South Third Street, what was the road from Mount Vernon through the land which became Soperton. The railroad station and the new town was named for Benjamin Franklin Soper, who was associated with the railroad.
