    My grandparents are buried in Blakely. They lived in Blakely in a big old house. They didn't have ac or heat. They had old fireplaces for heat. They did have indoor plumbing, but we would use a "slop" at night if we had to tinkle. During the winter when you went to bed at night, you didn't move because with 3 or more quilts you were pretty much weighted down. Those quilts were so warm though. I sure miss those days!❤

    You need a Disco Cooker, works off Propane. To clean the pan you use Cooking Oil, Pickling Salt and Foil. It's Awesome we use it in the yard, camping what ever. You can cook pretty much anything in it. They have RUclips videos to show you how to use it 🙏💕

    it is so nice to see you sneak in the “selfie” at least no photo bombs! by any one or thing!
    the overlaps were great showing the past and present at the old Byrd farm! it is nice to
    finally after years to get your “chicken dinner” from that restaurant. I am in western NY
    there are not any really good places for southern chicken. we have hot wing places, that is
    about it except for a few Mexican restaurants. hope all is well, take care and have a great one!

      Ha! Ha! Thank you! I appreciate it. I love finding the older photos that I shot of the place. Yes! Big Chic is the best! I am sorry for you that they don't have any good Southern Fried Chicken places there. All is well here. I hope the same for you too.

  • @MillerMeteor74
    @MillerMeteor74 Год назад

    I still can't believe he dumped all that clay soil onto the field road. I was cringing as he was doing it. And I've said this dozens of times- I wish he would either say the date at the beginning of each video, or put it on screen in editing. I've wished that from the very beginning. So Robert went and bought another old car. Crazy. But Corvairs are cool. Well that was a fun video. Thanks, Barry

    Very good video! Lots of interesting stuff and stories. Oh my stars, I live in a rural part of Virginia where everything is closed on Sunday, because everyone respects the Sabbath, but then most businesses stay closed on Monday, also! So frustrating. Lol. Sigh. Things start opening up by Tuesday or Wednesday. I need to move 😂

  • @margaretgarls153
    @margaretgarls153 Год назад +2

    I heard Robert talking about rats damaging his 57 Chevy. I had a terrible rat problem in my chicken house. There were dozens and when I would go out to feed my chickens the rats got friendly and didn't run away. It was creepy and I didn't want pet rats.
    We didn't want to use poison and got a rat terrier puppy. She was amazing and she killed the rats and terrorized them. They left my chicken house and haven't come back. My dog passed away 3 years ago and still haven't seen any rats. Just a thought since Robert has rats around the farm.

    • @WalterMallardPhotography
      @WalterMallardPhotography  Год назад

      Thank you. I'll mention that to him. We had a rat dog there years ago. Between him and the cats the rats were wiped out for many years.

    Walter, this was a beautiful video of the farm. The pictures were awesome to see what it used to be like.
    Don't worry about guineas. They are hard to control and have minds of their own.
    Best wishes to Uncle Ken, and it is so nice of you to
    take him to his appointments. Could you tell us the family tree? I am sure it is somewhere in yours and Robert's RUclips videos, but I am still unclear.

    • @WalterMallardPhotography
      @WalterMallardPhotography  Год назад +1

      Thank you, Margaret! Those guineas definitely have minds of their own!
      Ken is Brian's (Down The Road With Brian Mallard) and my uncle. Ken is Mom's baby brother. Robert is Brian's and my nephew.

    • @margaretgarls153
      @margaretgarls153 Год назад

      Thank you for clearing that up. Robert's Mother is your sister? I love your family is so close. I try to stay close to my cousins in Arkansas, but we moved away from the farm when I was 9 and I ended up in Illinois when I was 17, went to college, got married and have lived all over Illinois. When I was younger, I kept wanting to move back South, but now I have children and grandchildren and my mini farm.
      I love the videos. I was interested at first in the history and then got hooked on the house preservation. Then I found out my 3rd great grandfather Reuben J. Crews, lived in Ellerslie. I was amazed and love seeing where my ancestors lived. My best to you and your family. Uncle Ken is in my thoughts and prayers.

    At the time you took the pictures of cowboy Brian was your mom living at the old Byrd farm you mentioned bringing her back after the car was hit.When did she acquire.the old Byrd farm.You must have been very young when you got into photography.It appears Brian and Robert also love photography.So many questions you need to write a book.Thanks so much for sharing your life.

    • @WalterMallardPhotography
      @WalterMallardPhotography  Год назад

      Mom was living there then. Brian was 17. I was about 24 when I began to regularly use a camera. Brian has a recent intense interest in still photography. Robert is more interested in video photography.
