The Georgia Dirt Farmer's Daughter

It is time for me to tell my story. It will take some time but I am ready, thanks to a chance meeting with a lady that has unleashed an amazing memory of my childhood and feelings that I have repressed for way too long.

In keeping with the July 4th BBQ theme I have located the "Original Witcher Family Barbeque Sauce Recipe" perfected by my daddy, Robert Hall, for the Polk County 4-H Club Annual Chicken Que.

Love them and miss them every day but I am also never closer to them than when I am digging in the dirt.

I am finally doing something that's been on my mental radar for a while. When I turned 65 last December I knew that I just had to create a blog to share some of my favorite memories growing up on a farm in Cedartown, Georgia.
