I was to young to remember exactly but never got it outta my head. Also thatwe never stopped in certain areas too, especially smaller towns, not even for gas. Always kept full tank when making that trip. To hear of history is different than actually feeling and having a front row seat. Touches you in a way thats hard to explain.Andrea Owireduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064833774087555547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110335572470669971.post-1659489209052269812013-11-13T20:20:36.982-08:002013-11-13T20:20:36.982-08:00Cotton was an amazing sight to see.

Though I loved the open land & getting to know my Family, it was the reality of having to see Archibald WINGFIELD'S Plantation EVERYDAY to get my son to daycare that drove me nuts. EVERY morning & evening. It was the fact this was "normal" to everyone but me & being aware I was considered "different" due to my northern upbringing & technology skills. I was "allowed" to have an office on the square & a home in the historic area. Though my children will ALWAYS know where they're from & what's baked-into their freedom, I NEVER want the presence of a Plantation & relegated status to be their "normal". 1 year & I had to BOUNCE!:)Luckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747339234820634005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110335572470669971.post-47915587374721245662013-11-13T09:46:53.489-08:002013-11-13T09:46:53.489-08:00Thank you, I was right there with you!Thank you, I was right there with you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110335572470669971.post-62470515476115382792013-11-13T09:11:21.921-08:002013-11-13T09:11:21.921-08:00Denise this was Great.

Yet so many of our people did it. Your description of the cotton field was very vivid, I felt like I was there. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.B Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295994004055894542noreply@blogger.com
