My hubby grew up in this house with his dad, mom & sister. He lived here until his move to Camelot Apts right before we got married.
Many Saturdays after we married, we would take & laundry our clothes at his parent's house & spend time with them. Lots of memories at this house come to mind. Here are a few...
...Sunday lunches with family...his mom was a great cook
...Sundays after lunch, men watching tv in den & ladies talking in living room
...Tater 'n Eggs Thanksgiving lunch cooked by his dad...one of our favorites even now
...sawhorses - a wide board over two sawhorses for whatever task we had to do
...peas & butterbean shelling in back yard
...fish cleaning
...my first de-heading of shrimp...though I would NEVER eat another shrimp...lol
.
I could go on and on about the many ways of living life here at this house.
With hubby's mom passed & his dad in the nursing home (going on three years), it is time.
Today.....the house is listed "For Sale".

We enjoy keeping the back door open so we can look out the storm door into the back yard and watch the activity of the birds and squirrels. Hummingbirds zoom chasing each other, and then stop for a drink at their feeder. Other birds enjoy resting on their feeder rim as they eat. A few pesky squirrels often make their way to the feeder.....swinging away and throwing some of the feed to the ground.
Nature and animals are something that we enjoy observing. Our favorite place.....you know...is the mountains.
Tonight as Glenn looked out the door he noticed how strange the back yard looked. There was an orange cast upon the shed, and the yard just looked "weird".
After going out to explore, we observed to the front of the house sky as sharp as a baby blue color with a few clouds. Our backyard sky had this rather large roundish cloud with an orange tint. It was so amazing!
Throw open the shed door and get to work.
Thank you Lord that there is some air stirring.
I must have lost my mind...20 bales?
With the temperature rising & no breezes now,
I work slow & steady to finish the front flower beds.
To forget how to dig the earth and
to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.

...a quick trip around 11:40AM with hubby to pick up some accounting work. Well, it was going to be a quick trip. Then this happened.
A truck with a trailer pulled across the traffic lanes in front of us from the median. His view was blocked by a larger truck waiting in his left turn lane to cross the median and the opposite traffic lanes. As soon as Glenn saw the truck that hit our truck entering the lanes, he applied the brakes but it was too late. Thankfully no one was hurt.
