This year, American Legacies Org has arranged to sponsor a FREE Thanksgiving Meal to EVERYONE within a driving range of Owensboro KY.
We are collaborating with the Greater Vision Baptist Church, 4733 Sutherland Road, Owensboro, KY., in order to provide a traditional Holiday meal with Turkey, Ham, and all the sides.
Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays inspire us to think about being surrounded with family, food and fellowship. They also bring on the highest amount of suicides each year, for individuals that don't have family or loved ones to share the holidays with.
It will contain a variety of information, including about his memories of life and family, as well as a variety of his Religious, Inspirational, Motivational, and Romantic writings from over the years.
A short distance from our house there was a creek, fed by a spring up on a hill with a waterfall that was about five feet high. This was where Mama washed our clothes in a zinc tub. Papa went along to carry the bundle and make a fire under the black iron wash pot. Mama put the clothes on a big wooden block and paddled them. She boiled them and rinsed them in three tubs then carried them home and dried them on a clothes line.
Our social life was built around the church. They had singing conventions. I remember Papa and Mama would always go. A teacher came to teach singing and we always attended. Mama sang alto and I loved to hear Papa sing. I think these meetings were in the summer when the crops were laid by. They had books with shaped notes (now the notes are round). They would have dinner on the ground and preaching once each month.
We lived ten miles from Groveton, the county seat of Trinity County. The road was graded and the men who lived in the district worked the road. They used oxen to pull heavy logs over it to make it level.

Thousands change their routines to try ‘something different.’
By Judy Bradford, Tribune Staff Writer
They gave up Wednesday night volleyball, the concluding episode of “I’ll take Manhattan,” on television and other middle-of-the-week fare.
We have purchased a large number of old photographs that came from a barn in Kentucky.
We have not discovered any definite links to the origin or family these images may belong to YET, so we will be posting them on our website, in order to see if anyone else can assist in recognizing these individuals.

I believe my favorite Christmas toy was the plastic accordion I received when I was about six or seven years old. My cousin Tut, who was 5 years older than I was, had always had his accordion with him when the family came down from New Hampshire for our old fashioned Swedish Christmas at Grammy and Grampy's house in Connecticut.
