The Day-After-Thanksgiving Family Gathering at the Farm

On this bright sunny day, 29 descendants of Walter B. Langford and our friends gathered at the spot he settled his wife in 1913. He had bought clear-cut land from a timber company and began clearing the stumps to plant a crop. He raised cotton, corn, soybeans and seven children on more than 100 acres of rolling Alabama countryside. On this day family members came from Texas, Florida, and Alabama bringing food for “dinner” and a desire to reconnect with each other in a place that is sacred ground to us all.

The family and friends included:
Andy & Malinda
John & Linda
Paul (Jan was ill)
Catherine & Robert  & Emma (almost 2)
Gary & JoAnn
Kemper, Dave, Estelle (almost 3) , Ainsley (almost 1)
Aunt Rebecca
Charles & Celena with nieces Josie, Carly, Gracie, Ella, Hannah
Craig
Greg, Najla and the boys Jackson and William
Mark and Jeanie
