Susan Carmichael-my mother in law and Silver Springs




My mother in law, Susan Carmichael McIntosh, She is now 80+ year old and lives in Florida. She has 3 children, my husband is the eldest one.

1987 when my mother passed away in Hong Kong, the first letter was from her. I haven't met her yet but I was so touch by a letter from a woman who I do not know how she looks like. She is the one who teach me how to drive, how to make a gravy, how to lay a Thanksgiving and Christmas lunch table and how to play tennis even I was in 6 month pregnant.

My mother in law was born in Silva Spring property (sea above map), broght up there. Later she went to Chicago University to get her art degree. Her father was a welknow man in Florida. He owned the Silva Spring, later my mothe in law and Uncle Ned inherited it. There were lots of movies make on her property. My best one is Cross Creek! I love to hear it when she talked about the making of Yearling
