Awesome video. I'm definitely going have to drag the wife down to Searcy this spring for their next open house. Thanks for sharing.

@Cobunist,

I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. It was a ton of fun talking to all the pretty ladies and all that. The next open house is Saturday and Sunday...May 5th and 6th. I hope you can make it. We'll be there...our sorghum and honey jars are almost empty. :-)

Thanks for coming by.

Regards,

John

John, how come those little ol' southern bells from Arkansas don't say things such as "little ol' me" and "you all"? Those beautiful long dresses reminds me of Gone With the Wind. Quite frankly Charlotte, I don't give a dam! Maybe we otta call you JOHNNY REB! I really enjoyed this vid = great job John!

@umajunkcollector,

I've always had a liking for the full-length dresses worn by our ancestral women. Actually, I like many of the older things...but I'm glad to be living in this day and age. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have an absessed tooth in the old days. :-)

I glad you ejoyed the vid. We plan to go back in the Spring for another open house event. I'll probably make a second vid.

Regards,

John

Back in the pioneer days, they used telegraph, tellyfone, and tell-a-lady!

Seein those old feather beds upstairs in the loft reminds me of John Denver's "Grandma's Feather Bed" song. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...

@MrRaddios,

I always get a kick out of seeing old things...genuine Americana so-to-speak. Things that would be gone forever were it not for the kind of folks in the video.

Thanks for watching. Hope to see you again.

Regards,

John
