Lovely.
I believe I recognize a few of those homes from my youth there in The Big Swamp.
Thanks for posting 'em.

What I would do to have a home like those way out in the country. Very classy Christmas decor.

Lucky and Jill I am glad you liked them. We love the area as much as the house. I am so glad we moved here 6 yrs ago. Auburn has gotten so bad and we couldn't take the tearing down of all the old homes and the rampant building of "luxury condos" and "%^*&^*" that is soringing up everywhere. This is a lovely change. c

PS I think the "Big Swamp" is the Florida Gators". ???

Naw, 'Big Swamp' is what 'Opelika' meant in the Creek Indian language - or, at least, that's what our Alabama History teacher taught us, back in the day.

'The Swamp' is where TT & the Gators play.

Gotcha...I didn't know that ! Thanks for setting me straight. I never had Alabama history. Some one asked me what Opelika meant and I didn't know, now I do. c

Trailrunner, usually Wikipedia has some useful info on history of towns and cities. Many Alabama towns were named from old Indian terms. Simply type the name of the town in your searchbar, and then look for the Wikipedia page.
