Grandpa's House

The past 5 weeks I've been helping Mom clean out my Grandpa's house.  It's really been enjoyable spending time with Mom and hearing about stories of when she was young.  The woodwork in this house is just beautiful; even after all these years.  I would like my next house to have woodwork like this.  This would be an awesome house to live in, however it needs a lot of work put into it.

 The barn is really cool too.  Too bad they are uneconomical these days cause they're really neat structures. They had lots of windows to help the air flow through and keep the barn cool. The roof had tiny holes in it and it would look like stars - barn stars. You can see some of them showing on the floor.  We had a lot of fun in our barn when we were little.  The cats had their kittens up there and we would swing from a rope like Tarzan up there; it was fun.  And then Dad tore it down. That seems to be the fate of most barns these days and its sad.
