The first house I ever lived in (from birth to 10 months) was torn down and a huge house that's too big for the lot was put there instead.

When I went home when my brother died this past winter I went past my old farmhouse. It had burned down and there was a new house sitting under the old elm trees that I can remember my father planting...just saplings and now huge trees that shade the house and the road. It is good that we have the memories in our hearts because time changes all things- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113079651615955204.post-70461719897560500442013-06-28T21:14:08.219-05:002013-06-28T21:14:08.219-05:00You have an amazing amount of family history in th...You have an amazing amount of family history in that house.
