This s my parent's Harold and Rowena Graham's farm in Bridgewater, Maine. My gram lived in the little house on the left.

My Dad built that little house in the early 50's. The farm belonged to my grandparents Bert + Margaret Slipp and we grew up there. There were 8 kids in my grandfather's family and 8 kids in my dad's family - all were talented musicians so there were many many Sundays when my gram's relatives would come over from the province and there were be hours of music and laughing and lots of good food. Great memories - it was a very sad day for us when Dad sold the farm to Harold Graham, although Harold was a really great guy, and I'm glad it went to him rather than someone we didn't know. One of the McKeen boys bought it from Harold.
