South Lake sounds wonderful, its got my vote. I really would like to come to Red River county. I don't remember very much about it. I have only been there 3 times. One is when I was to little to remember, the second was when we visited my great aunt Ada Mae Taylor Whiteman and her husband Chester Oliver Whiteman on their ranch. I remember it was a beautiful ranch and the house was old. I think it must have been in the family for years. My aunt's stove was very old and her food out of this world. My mom use to visit her all the time when she was young. Every summer as a teenager she would take to bus to Clarksville from Ft. Worth and visit her family. She had either a cousin or aunt she stayed with in Clarksville. She tells me she use to sit out on the porch in the evenings and watch the passer bys. When I listen to her now it seems like it was another time and place, something that is only found in books now, well at least for this city girl who has a yearning to leave the city and move back to East Texas where her roots are. I desire a simplier life where things move at a slower pace. Maybe someday I will be able to move back to Red River County. I want to stand on the same ground that they did so long ago. I don't even know why. Does that even make sense? I have determined that between now and the time school starts, I am going to at least pay a visit to RRCO and visit some cemetries. I wish I knew where my Aunt Ada and Uncle Chester lived and what happened to the ranch. They have both passed on now. My grandfather would have been 100 in 2000. He was born in 1900, Ada was older than him by many years. She raised him after their parents died. She out lived him. He died at 72 after a car hit him. You know, I just realized. My grandfather died from an acciedent, as did his father before him, and his grandfather was hit by a train and lost his legs but survived. Both my great grandfather and my great great grandfather died the same year. If not for acciedents, the Taylor-Harveys have longevity in their genes. Cathy Cathy
