After 67 years of family ownership, the Templeton Farm has been purchased by the Landes family. I'm glad that we own the two acres that our house sits on so that I'll always have a piece of family history.
My mom wants me to put a sign on the gate that reads "God's Little Acre" like Erskine Caldwell's book, but I really don't want to be called Darlin' Jill.
The photo is of a painting I bought yesterday that was done by Hoyt Mulanax, a popular local artist in Sweetwater. Among many endeavors, he painted the Nolan County Courthouse mural, one of three that is on the south side of Staton's Pharmacy on the square.
