Photo 37-OCH-22

Comments

My parents bought this place in 1987. I grew up there and what wonderful memories I have of this place. The work that went on through the years to clear the property was back breaking. My parents taught us to work hard together as a family. The home was expanded with a three room addition. The house was completely sided by my parents alone. There was a hog barn added to the south of the big barn. I think the biggest of the changes was to the property. The entire inside of the home was remodeled but that is not visible in this photo. As a family, we would take one room each year and work together at gutting the room and remodeling it. I have learned so much from these experiences. My father taught us children so many valuable lessons with each remodel. The yard was cleared to be over three acres of beautiful lawn and gardens. My mother worked hard to cultivate awesome beauty in her gardens.

Actually purchased in 1967! Born and raised on this property.
