Frozen Frames–07/13/1964

Welcome to 'Frozen Frames,' where each photo is a step back in time. Join me in rediscovering my history, one photograph at a time.

Me with Mama Parker, my maternal grandmother, a most wonderful woman, one kind and compassionate, who loved me unconditionally. She and my grandfather, Daddy John, lived next door all during my growing up years.

It seems I’ve always liked cooking over fire. Here, I still remember the sausage patties. And, the huge garden spot beyond.

As best I can tell, I’m around 10, summer of 1964, between end of 5th grade and beginning of 6th.

Writer. Observer. Builder. I write from a life shaped by attention, simplicity, and living without a script—through reflective essays, long-form inquiry, and fiction rooted in ordinary lives. I live in rural Alabama, where writing, walking, and building small, intentional spaces are part of the same practice.
