capturing history

My memories of my grandparents' lives together...


My favorite gas station



Weezy's parents' general store



Hulaco General Store




The water tower that marks the road to turn to...




The Bagwell Farm


As I rode around Joppa, Hulaco, and Ryan, AL today, I realized how special these places are to me. My grandfather grew up on a farm and fell in love with a girl from Ryan. Weezy loved to share stories of her parents' general store. Hulaco General Store was a must-stop when in town for the best suckers. The water tower shows you were to turn to get to the Bagwell Farm, where you would always be greeted with a smile and a hug.
