This is the house I grew up in. It is still there but the building in the back has been torn down. The front of the house has changed also.

I also grew up in this house. The building in back (which is no longer there) was my daddy's workshop - the upstairs. I used to spend a lot of time up there with him! It looks like our swing set, which would be in the upper left hand corner, is gone also. Lots of precious memories in that house ❤️!!!!

(I would love a copy of this)

I would love to know who's cars are in the side driveway. I used to love climbing out the girls window and sitting on the roof of the carport. I remember the swing set, and that other side building (chicken coop??) that I opened the door and there was a snake skin looking at me when I opened the door, screamed and ran off lol. My grandpa's workshop in the back building on the second floor. The first floor I remember junk and bottles. The propane tank in the back, we rode as if it were a horse. As I got older, hiding the Easter eggs for the younger kids. The one thing I also remember about this house when I was relatively young were all the ticking clocks all night long and the mentionable quilts my grandma had that were soooo heavy I teased her about "nailing us to the beds" lol. Miss this ole house! I hope the family that lives there now feels the love that always circulated through that house.
