PULL UP A CHAIR

The Front Porch

A place for memories, stories, laughter and conversation.

Sometimes the best stories begin with one simple question. Take a minute, think back and see where the memory takes you.

What is something from your childhood you wish young people could experience today?

FROM THE PORCH

Stories Worth Remembering

Everyday memories remind us how much life we've lived and how much wisdom there is to pass along.

GROWING UP

When the Streetlights Came On

We didn't need anybody to text us and tell us it was time to come home. When those streetlights came on, everybody knew exactly what that meant.

FAMILY

Sunday Dinner Wasn't Optional

Everybody knew where they were supposed to be after church. You might not know what was on the table yet, but you knew there would be enough food and somebody would be telling a story.

MUSIC

The Record You Didn't Touch

Every house seemed to have at least one record you were warned not to scratch. You could listen to it, but you better put that needle down carefully.

PORCH TALK

This or That?

No wrong answer. Just pick your favorite.

Front porch or back porch?

YOUR STORY MATTERS

Pull Up a Chair and Tell Us Something.

It doesn't have to be a big story. Sometimes the smallest memories are the ones that make us smile the most.

Tell us about a person, place, tradition, song, first job, funny moment or something you don't want younger generations to forget.
