Carpenter couple returning to new home
By Ron Page
"It’s going to be good to be
bonto," said Wilma Ihillips.
After spending the last eight
mcmths in a trailer, Paul and Wilma
Phillips will return home in the
next few days, thanks to the efforts
of their family and the many
friends they’ve made during the 42
years the couple has been married.
Their house on N.C. 55 in the
Carpenter community was
destroyed by fire December 16,
1995, when a short in electrical
wiring caused the blaze that also
took with it both their cars and
many of their belongings. They
were not covered by insurance.
They rebuilt a bouse on the site of
the old, wid) their personal savings
and help from family and Mends.
Their new home is a four-bedroom
Inidt ranch which Mrs. Phillips
said has a family room big enough
to bold all her grandchildren when
Christmas rolls around this year.
"There are 18 of us," she says and
smiles.
It’s taken a while to rebuild,"
Mrs. Ihillips said. "I had never
lived in a trailer or mobile home
before, and it was quite an expmi-
ence, especially during electrical
storms and heavy rain. 1 tell ya, 1
get nervous.”
Mrs. Phillips had concerns in
-Match that they’d never get the
new home built "It rained so much
that they couldn’t pour the footings
for weeks. I was so b^jpy when
they did, but the main thing I
looked forward to in a new bouse
was a good-sized family room. We
have that, and it is open on one side
to a big kitch^," she explained.
Mrs. Phillips still can’t believe all
of the help her family, neighbors.
and Mends have given, people lilto
ho- daughter-in-law fiom Chicago,
who did all of the wallp^ring.
"She did a marvelous job," Mrs.
Ihillips said. She also mentioned
bo' son, Al, and bm- daughter-in-
law Teri, who live only a few
blocks away.
"I feel so indebted to so many
people," Mrs. Phillips said. "And
the fire department was there for us
with that barbecue they held to
help. It meant so much. This com
munity is good for that."
Although Mrs. Phillips said that
they will always miss their old
home, the new one will provide a
new start, even if it is an expensive
one.
Mr. and Mrs. Phillips are known
for the pumpkins they grow for sale
at Halloween time, and for the
lighted orange round lanterns that
used to glow across the ffont of
their house. Some call it the house
with the orange front lawn.
"Paul has planted pumpkins again
on some land in Moore County,"
hfrs. Phillips said, "but with all the
rain we’ve bad I don’t know if
we’ll have any crop," she said.
"We’ll have to wait and see."
Mrs. Moore also rq>e^ed a story
she bad heard from one of her
customers. The mother said that her
little girl cried when she heard that
the pumpkin lady’s house bad
burned down. She had to bring her
daughter out to see that "The
Pumpkin Lady" was still there.
