James Whitlow has sent us another picture for this blog. It is one that I have never seen and indicates that in 1908 a Mr. Farris had a transportation company. Perhaps he transported folks up or down river by boat? Or he transported freight. Writing on the front says it is in Judsonia ARK. T

Remember when we used to drive around and stop at antique shops and search for things we collected? It was a difficult process but we really appreciated finding some old collectible out in the middle of nowhere. Things have changed. Just put a search on ebay and let the treasure-oppportunity be

I'm guilty! I confess! I did it! I poked fun at my husband's tomato-growing prowess in past blogs. The laugh is on me. LOOK! He was SO successful this year with tomato growing that his friends run in the other direction when he starts toward them with another bag of tomatoes to give them. He h

I bought another card on ebay. I already had the black and white one shown above but decided to take a chance and buy the one in color, shown below. It is obvious. The top one is more charming and shows more detail. Look at the dog and the gentlemen and the fountain. It is dated 1908 and ha

This card is from our new found Sleuth James Whitlow who probably bought it on ebay to add to his collection. He wonders if any of the folks in Searcy can identify the people. Here's the back of the card. Note the date. 1909! This card is over 100 years old. So the questions I come up wit

Our newfound blog friend, James Whitlow, who bought the old postcard of People's Bank in Searcy Arkansas from ebay has very thoughtfully sent us scans of the card. The scans are SO clear. This bank became First Security Bank and we have had other blogs about it. Super Sleuth Anita has lots of

I did a blog a few months ago with a picture of a house that gave the Sleuths a fit because they couldn't find it. They just didn't remember it. It was located at 1600 W Pleasure and was torn down several years ago. To refresh your memory, here is the house. After being just two vacant lots fo

One house has been on the market three times within the past few years. When I had it listed it looked like this. It sold two times and now it is back on the market and looks like this. And the middle sale showed the picture in the MLS that looked like this. I am still bothered by this photo. W

Walking down the road for an early morning exercise session can be boring but I couldn't help being amazed at the bragging ability of some of the trees and flowers. Take those Crepe Myrtles. It appears that they are just bragging and bragging. Everything around them, including people, are gaspi
