This LOOKS like my mother and father's house on Upper Rader. The garage hadn't been built yet (wide white spot to the right of the house). There's a private drive in the tree line and it curved up and around behind the house to my sister's mobile home (out of range of the picture.) The garden spot is the wide area to the left of the house. They had two HUGE silver maple trees in the front yard and leading down from the house on the right was a set of wide, concrete steps that led down to the driveway.

Looking at this picture again, after a year and a half has passed, I am certain this was my mother and father's home (Clarence and Modena Keith) and is now my home. Zooming in, I can see the two silver maples in the front of the house as well as the little block pump house/well house dad built to the rear. This was taken in 1987 and it had to have been early in the year because dad started the block garage in '87 and you can see in this photo that it hasn't been started yet. That car is a green 1978 Pontiac Catalina we affectionately referred to as 'The Green Machine." There is a path leading up the hill on the left end of the house. That led to my sister's mobile home that used to sit out that drive, just beyond the camera's point of view.
