My uncle and I recently took a week day trip to Bainbridge Georgia to visit my grandparents. The following are some photos from our journey south.
My grandmother Brock is in a nursing home and on the day we arrived she was visiting with her boyfriend, Hoke.
Pork rinds anyone?
In the nursing home they have auctions where the residents can bid on items with fake money. Virginia, my grandmother, shows us some of her winnings.
My grandmohter’s friend, Pearl, gave her this Japanese scroll painting for her room.
My grandmother and Hoke spend alot of time watching the birds from her window.
I found it funny that the two numbers my grandmother has pinned up are my fathers and Dominos Pizza.
If you know my grandmother you know that she enjoys talking on the phone just as much as a teenage girl. I love these photos of her searching for a number.
Across from the nursing home are picnic tables shaded by live oaks. We brought a pizza with us one day for lunch on a visit.
Friends of my grandmothers stop by for a visit.
We also visit my grandmother’s sister always known to me as “aunt Lib.” She avidly cans and puts up food in her freezer which is full to the brim.
My granny and granddad Jauert’s home.
They always grow vegetables in the summer. This okra plant is one of several in their garden.

On the way home we stopped at a roadside stand for boiled peanuts.
The following set of images are from Louvale Chuch Row. Three churches comprise this trio, Antioch Primitive Baptist Church, Marvin Methodist Church and New Hope Baptist Church. I’m hoping to do a photo essay on the churches so keeping checking in on the progress.
A cemetery is also on the church grounds.
I love this image. As we walked into one of the churches I notice someone had left their glasses and a peppermint on the foyer table. Peppermints always remind me of church, I think because my grandmother always had them in her pocketbook for me during the services I attended with her as a child.
Two painters were busy at work in one of the churches.
You may not notice the tiny little black specks near the steeple, I originally thought they were dust on my lens, but it looks as though wasps have built a nest in hollow space.
