Housekeeping

All of the following groups of words mean the same thing. They are synonyms, that is. Sometimes when referring to stuff in our family, it can be confusing because we use different words for the same thing.

The following words refer to the whole property south of Chipley, FL:

Granny's
The Farm
The Compound

This is the 100 acres that was homesteaded by our "people" sometime in the 1800's. There are 4 houses on the property now. The following is a list of what they are all called:
1.
Granny's
Carla's
Comegys'
2.
Tom and Lorraine's
3.
Ralph and Gladys'
Mama Gladys and Grandpa's
(Mom and Dad's)

4.
Aunt Anne's
Aunt Lola's
Tommy and Susan's
The house in Navarre that my family owns is known as:
Cheryl's
Navarre

The house where we all go in Seagrove, FL is known as:
Old Charcoal
Seagrove
Aunt Lola's
The Beach

Here's a pic of a fish fry we had last week. I decided to try out the timer feature on my camera. It's not the best pic but you get the idea. We had the fish fry up at Aunt Anne's. (I tend to refer to things by the original names - Aunt Anne passed in Feb. 2007).
