I have been watching the last season of Fixer Upper and grieving. Reruns will do for a while but....The Gaines are just too darn busy for TV I was mentally counting up. Besides Magnolia Farm and the design and construction company. They revamped the Silos and opened a architectural salvage store. They purchased a B&B and revamped a housekeepers house next to it for the managers. Jo has a huge truck garden at the farm. They have all sorts of animals that eat their heads off. I think Chip may donate one or two for charity rather than butcher them, especially the ones with names and they all have names. They revamped the flower shop next to the Silo and turned it into a bakery. And this week Chip talked Jo into a restaurant. They took the old Elite that is the oldest place in Waco and spiffed it up into a breakfast joint. It is a beautiful job and if I ever get to Waco, Texas, I will certainly see them all and especially have some biscuits and gravy.
I have also been watching "Home Town". The young couple live and work in Laurel, Mississippi and rebuild older homes for folks. It is absolutely beautiful. They do a tremendous job and the styles of house run from Southern Italianate to Farmhouse Victorian wrap around porches and swings, quite lovely. I got curious and decided to Google the town and I was curious about the population. I have only seen one black person filmed and I figured there had to be some black people there. It took forever but the official site finally yielded up some statistics. Of the population of 18,000 or so fifty percent is white and 25 five percent is black and so on. I did notice that there were 8 congregations of Baptist churches, Black. It would be interesting to see if the White Baptists sing as good as the Black Baptists. I would love to visit just for the front porch swings, sweet tea and fireflies. Makes me all homesick and I ain't even from there y'all.
