Worked yesterday on my father's farm raising walls for a 30x50 building. My 2 brothers and my husband are constructing it and several of the younger relatives are helping. Last weekend we poured the concrete floor and since I'm the only girl in the family, I was right in the middle of the action. Can't let my Dad think I'm any less of a worker than my brothers! LOL! I couldn't help but reflect on how our ancestors would have worked together in the same way. It seems to make them more real to me. My parents live next to I-75 and across the expressway is my great-great grandfather's farm (John W. Griffith). Of course the farm is no longer there, it's full of restaurants, gas stations and hotels. My great-grandfather, Charles Logan Griffith, had a Merchantile store across from the train depot there in Richwood. It's kinda neat to think that their spirits are standing there with us helping to hold the framed walls up until someone can drive the nails to hold the walls sections together. ******** Descendants of John W.
