Cecelia Whidden Weeks, 84, welcomes an Eagle reporter into her home as she moves from Goodland over Labor Day weekend. Weeks is known as one of Goodland's "last living legends." The home, now for sale, is the one she lived in almost her entire life and it is among the first 15 homes in Goodland that were moved from Caxambas by heirs of Barron Collier in 1949.
