Visited by my favorite photographer from yesteryear, Paula Anne.

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Advantage

I've posted lots of old pictures of our little town, Searcy Arkansas during the past few months.  Lots of them were taken by Paula Anne when she was a Girl Scout and had a photography project to take care of. 

Pictures that she took then and she probably considered useless but Mom and Dad thought were wonderful because their little girl took them are now treasures.  I'm going to repeat one of my favorite pictures of her as a little girl when she won the camera.  She's the tall girl in the background.

Yesterday she and her husband Don visited me at my office and he, being the greatest photographer now, snapped the two of us together.  They love the history of our town and regularly contribute with comments on the Localism blogs.  Thanks, Paula Anne and Don for your contributions to Searcy's history and my blog!

Barbara:  Your work area reminds me of mine.  Little post it notes adorning whatever is close by to hang them on.  Your desk is much neater than mine, though.

Merry Christmas!

Chris Ann, post it notes are the greatest.  But you know, they are probably about the only thing that has never come down in price.  For little pieces of stickit paper, the real brand is expensive!

Steven, let's have a "show your office" meme.  The meme might show the real person!

Barbara,

The Family Shoe Store was a Searcy icon, I wish it was still here!

No.  Family Shoe Store was downtown and only closed a few years ago.  But I could be wrong!  Thanks.
