Home & Family

We live in a 1825 Dog-trot log cabin. It belongs to Dr. Alice G. Weber, her great grandparents that lived in this house, planted the pecan trees 80 years ago, that still grace the property. Her mother, Pauline Willis Godard, (She was called Nana to most of us) would tell us stories of when she was a little girl. Her and her sisters would stop by in the horse and buggy from school and get a cookie from her grandparents that lived in the dog-trot house about 1905. She learned her bible verses sitting on the bottom step of the back breezeway that leads to the free standing kitchen which we have had rebuilt into a small apartment for Alice, now that she is the matriarch. We open up the house to all, on our Kiln Opening weekends always the first weekend in December and the first weekend after Easter. Living in an old house and one that has been in the family so long ago gives us a feeling of belonging and roots that have dug deep into the red mud of Georgia. I am not even from here, but I have dug my children's roots deep indeed.
We have a pink convertible volkswagon bug, 1971, that has given us great pleasure in driving around to dances, some that are in the old school house where Nana went to school. We enjoy driving on the old country roads around our home to see the fall colors and the spring flowers or feeling the sunset.
