The Homestead

This blog post is for my Mom and Dad. I sent them email files to copy but I can't seem to get it in the right format for them to copy. At least you can look at it here. I may have to get Amy to make another photo copy and send it snail mail.

This is in a jpg. format and may be too big to copy, but if you enlarge you will get a good view.


I got some really wonderful Christmas gifts this year and I want to thank everyone for them all....from cookies, candy and bread to gift certificates, scrapbook supplies, clothes, tools etc. Amy gave me a Christmas gift of a framed photograph of my Mom and Dad's home. It's the one I grew up in and miss so much at Christmas. It made me cry and although I blogged about it a few months ago with pictures of the inside, here is the house from the front.
Except for the occasionl frost on the inside walls in my bedroom and the pipes that regularly froze up, it was a great place in which to grow up.

You are lucky to have grown up in a nice home like that. We moved so much when I was a kid that some of the houses we lived in no longer are there or have changed so much that I wouldn't recognize them except for the street address !

I love warm home memories!

I am glad you liked your gift. I just love that house and the warm feelings I get when I walk inside it. I miss it and wish we lived closer so that we could visit more often. I will send you the jpeg of the pic so that you can do what you wish with it!

What a nice gift! Our Cowley house has changed so much I can hardly remember what it looked like when I was growing up.

I love that home. Sitting by the floor heater, listening to grandma humm, grandpas laugh, sitting on the dront porch. So many great memories have been had there. What a thoughtful present, Amy!
