At the Courthouse
Small, rural towns are some of my favorite places. They all have their own character. They have neat churches, and old houses. If they are the county seat, they usually have a great courthouse. I am...

Farm, Old 49
On old NC 49, just southwest of Asheboro, there is a barbecue restaurant. It is called Silo’s. I wonder if they named it after this picturesque farm located right behind it. Asheboro is located in...

The Old Home Place
I love old homes. I like to look at the architecture of the place. If it is an old farmhouse, I wonder what life was like on that farm many years ago. We all have homes that bring back memories for...
