A few years ago my Mom, Grandmother, wife, and the kiddo's took a ride just North of Corsicana in a place called Manfort, Tx. Its hardly visible on any map. Back in the 1920's my Grandmother and Grandfather were neighbors in this little place. The pictures are of the farm my Grandmother grew up on. Their family rented the land, home, and barn in order plant and harvest crops. The 20's was a trying time for them. My Grandmother would save any trash that could be used again. I remember a story she told me when her family had a chicken for lunch. They didn't much meat because it was just to expensive for them. After she and her many brothers and sisters at the chicken they cracked open the bones to eat the marrow. What difficult times they were. My Grand parents were survivors. They had no running water, no plumbing, an outhouse to use the bathroom, and of course no electricity. They have both passed away now but they leave in incredible legacy. The legacy of perseverance and hard work and making a difference in lives around us. Let us all remember our Grand Parents lives and pursue helping our neighbors, even when we don't have much to spare. Have a great day all and enjoy the photographs I took. Cheers.
