"Bonjour Mon Ami!"
"Hello My Friend!"
We are a family that was raised on a rice farm in the small town of
Branch, Louisiana.
If you are a Taylor, Johnson, or Richard,
we are probably kin.
This town is so small if you blinked your eyes you were through it.
We had alot of bad times on the farm but mostly it was all good.
We got to milk cows, feed the chickens, pick cotten, slop the hogs,
and gather eggs.
Doesn't that sound like fun?
It was hard work but there was always the hours of riding horses,
crawfishing, eating watermelons right out the truck patch
We would all gather together with the kin folks down
the road and listen as they played
their guitars, violins, accordions and french harps.
The singing and fellowship was great.
Those were the days.
I have to admit I dont miss the outhouses and
lack of air conditioners.
In 1961, our mother Mettie Ruth, passed away at the age of forty.
You couldnt ask for a nicer or sweeter person.
My oldest daughter, Angela Ruth is named after her.
We all miss and love her very much.
In 1992, our father, Delmore passed away also.
Altho he was a rice farmer after our mother died he became a carpenter
and was a darn good one.
He is loved and missed very much also.
Here are some pictures we would like to share with you.
"Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouller!"
