Down A Gravel Road

Down A Gravel Road
Finding Curry Road

Welcome to the Adventures of Living On Curry Road

Rye, Arkansas is located eleven miles north of Warren, AR, fifteen miles west of Monticello, AR and approximately thirty miles south of Pine Bluff, AR. Rye has been the home of the Curry family for over five generations. This family has farmed this land producing cattle, chickens, timber. The area is beautiful and the family culture is equally impressive with its generations of family that continue to live by the standards that made America a great country.

Rye, AR and the Curry family are a story of strong American values and the building of personal character, the love of God and a lot of very hard dedicated work. Donald Curry and Kay Curry are the current owners of most of the original farm land originally developed by the generations of Curry family. Kay Curry is the daughter of Jimmy and Hazel Baker and married Donald over fifty years ago. Both have continued the legacy of the farm life on Curry Road. Donald and Kay have raised a family of two daughters and one son. Mark Curry currently operates a cattle operation as well as four chicken houses on his part of the property. Lisa Tooke, wife of Dennis Tooke of Lake Charles, La and Donna Curry, of Little Rock, AR plan to retire back to the farm land when thier retirement time comes.

Jane and I were asked to help in a restoration of the 104 year old house shown above. We are so blessed to be allowed to have input as well as provide a labor of love to help restore this house to its original beauty for Donald and Kay Curry

As Jane and I came into the property with our RV, we came down the gravel road leading to Curry Road. We came down this gravel road and had to stop and take a picture. We are including that picture with this overview so you too can see the beauty of this area.

It reminded us of the book “The Painted House” by John Grisham and we hope you will get the same response.

Getting Behind, Intending To Catch Up

Well, we've been working so hard (and enjoying every minute of it) and we've gotten behind on our postings.
Trust us, we'll all start posting so we can keep you up to date.

Well its time to put in the garden and the "old pro" is ready to start the plowing and tilling.  Donald has been putting in gardens for over 60 years so we were more than happy to have him do this one.   We'll keep you posted

Gardening is part of the spring time season and everyone at the place is egar to get past the winter and get on with the outside life.  One our two new little cats will have to leave the garden spot when Donald starts his tilling and plowing.                                                                                                                                                              
Well, Jane is supervising the activities and enjoying every minute.  This garden will be her first of this size and I think she is ready for the work.  Sounds like tomatoes, beans, peas, lettus and all the good stuff.  Walmart will miss us this summer.
