This was my Grandparents home on the Garfield Road, Ken and Beulah Porter. I was 8 when this was taken and spent many summers there playing with my cousins, taking turns on the swing there, built between two white poles, and catching frogs from the little pond on the far left. My Great Grandmother, Fern Clark, lived in the house across the road and my Great Uncle, Herman Porter, lived in the little house out back towards the woods. I still remember the blue and white Ford in the driveway. The house is still there, the couple who purchased it from my aunt built on an addition. The barn/garage is still there, but the small white garage has been gone for many years, as has the house across the road and Uncle Herman's house. The little pond is still there. What a trip back in time!

Just East of the railroad tracks before getting back to Rte. 11. Without Robin's description and the little pond I wouldn't have recognized it and I've driven past it hundreds of times.
