Living On Curry Road: Wild Halloween Party Makes News

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.

Wild Halloween Party Makes News

Have you ever been to a winnie roast with a bunch of seniors? Well, if you haven't you've missed it.

Its starts out with a good spirit and everybody helping everybody else.
Lots of fun and fellowship and howdy doodie for all.

Then it gets real quite, and still. Concentration and technique are beginning to take over. Just total concentration on that wonderful "tube steak" meal.
(Notice Pastor Wiles {denim jacket, red hair standing on the left} is getting just the right turn on his stick!)

The mood is turning really somber and the group is remembering what their first winnie roasts were like I bet.

Ms Marry Mercer was just back from her west coast tour vacation and was glad to be back home.

She really liked San Francisco. Her other traveling companions were not at the roast, Mr Sam and Ms Brenda were recovering from the travel and excitement.

A good time was had by all and the evening was over early. One really really good coconut cream pie
was missing after Ms Pat Ashcraft worked so hard on it. I think it found its way up to Pansy to the only person that came from Pansy, I'm just saying.......
