What fun!  Hanging out at Frozen Delite in Searcy Arkansas several years ago.  It was a new group of kids.  Bell bottom jeans, vests, boots, and lots of hair.  At least different from the 50's. Frozen Delite was at the time of this photo located at 2200 East Race and a phone book says the owner ...

Okay, I admit I don't go shopping as much as merchants would like for me to go. Okay, Dillard's is 50 miles away so I don't drive that far to shop very often either. But, last week I went on a shopping spree....at least for me....and drove all the way to Little Rock to Dillard's. In Dillard's I f...

What a great picture provided by Mike Noble, the son of Toby Noble who was the risk taker who built one of the first motels in Searcy Arkansas.  The year was 1951, says Mike, and the location was 2203 East Race Street. Mike also says that the motel was built when the road was not even paved and i...

This great picture of a group of young women singing has surfaced. Look how small the stage was and how inelegant the steps to the stage were. And the audience was certainly able to see the "whites of their eyes." The only person that I can positively identify in this picture is Miss Ann Lacy, lo...

My mail today was so relevant.  I opened the envelope and this invitation fell out.  It was relevant because just a day or two ago my blog buddy Anita Hart Fuller, who grew up in Searcy AR and still has a love for this town, had sent me photos of some scenes from camp at this very same Camp Wylde...

Another interesting item is on ebay right now.  I am trying to figure out where this filling station was.  I remember writing a blog about Morning Sun several months ago and after comparing the two pictures I'm wondering if they are the same.  Here's the ebay item. And here's the old blog.  I gue...

The phone rang sometime in the 70's, I believe, and I can't find the exact date. But.... A friend said, "I hear that the Junior High School building is burning!" Looking outside, we could see the smoke and blazes because we didn't live far away.  It was a very sad day for Searcy Arkanasas to see ...

Found on ebay!  This old card is great and shows two churches in Searcy Arkansas in approximately 1909 when the card was postmarked. The First Methodist Church on the right has been cherished, pampered, and its historical value perpetuated.  Alas, the one on the left, assumed by me to be First Ba...

When I came home today I found this lovely bowl of tomatoes on the kitchen counter.  Not just strung out on the counter in any old syle but nicely rounded in this little bowl with the best sides forward! In case anyone wants to go back and read about my husband's tomato farming, the blogs are lis...

High school yearbooks are treasure troves of memories.  Here's an ad that was for a business that was so well-known that no address was needed.  Unfortunately, I don't remember where it was.  It would also be nice to know who those proud folks on the front steps are.  Proprietors?  Probably. Sear...
